Uvita, from Playa Flamingo

Uvita anchors Costa Rica’s southern Pacific coast: the Whale Tail sandbar, Marino Ballena National Park, and some of the world’s more reliable humpback whale watching, with seasons roughly December to March and July to October.

From Flamingo it is the far end of the country’s Pacific side, best planned as its own multi-night stop. If the south coast is on your route, compare the whale and park tours below.
