Drake Bay Costa Rica

Drake Bay: Gateway to Costa Rica’s Wild Osa Peninsula Tucked away on the northern tip of the Osa Peninsula, Drake Bay is a quiet little haven for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and explorers. You can only really get here by boat or small plane, and that remoteness is a big part of its charm. Surrounded by thick rainforest, rich wildlife, and untouched beaches, Drake Bay is a peaceful escape where jungle sounds and gentle waves set the rhythm of the day. It’s an ideal base for visiting the famous Corcovado National Park, often called one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. On guided walks, you’ll step into a world of scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, tapirs and, if you’re very lucky, the elusive jaguar. With dense forest and winding rivers, every trail in Corcovado feels like a proper adventure. The sea here has just as much to offer. The calm, clear waters around Drake Bay are perfect for snorkelling, diving, and spotting dolphins or whales. A short boat trip brings you to Caño Island Biological Reserve, where healthy coral reefs and colourful tropical fish make for brilliant days in the water. Whether you’re after a bit of calm or a hit of excitement, Drake Bay’s mix of wild nature and warm hospitality makes for a Costa Rican trip you won’t forget.
