After a day of 25+ MPH winds with reefed sails, we arrived at Santa Elena National Park, Costa Rica on 4/1. This place is spectacular! This is a land-locked bay. We were on our own except for several Costa Rican fishermen who spent the night on-shore. There was no one else on the beach when we went exploring. There were some spots to snorkel, but not as many fish as up north.
Undisturbed beach - the most seashells we have seen on any beach this entire trip.
The view from the boat was pretty much like this on all sides. We could watch many pairs of parrots and other birds flying at sunset each night. The mornings and nights were filled with various bird songs. It was wonderful. Utterly serene.
At anchor all by ourselves! This was the gentlest anchorage of the trip, I think. We urge anyone coming this way by boat to spend a night or two at Santa Elena.
