Puntarenas Costa Rica Real Estate

The state of Puntarenas stretches along the central and south Pacific Coast of Costa Rica.  The province covers 4,350 miles² (11,266 km²) and is the largest province of Costa Rica, stretching from the cloud forests of Monteverde in the north, through the pristine beaches of Jaco, Manuel Antonio/Quepos, and Dominical, all the way to the remote beaches of the Osa Peninsula.  With construction of the new highway now complete, it is just 1.5 hrs from the San Jose Airport to Jaco, making Puntarenas as accessible as never before.  Puntarenas is the ideal surf and retire destination as it offers both coastal urban as well as costal and beach remote settings throughout the Central and South Pacific Coastline of Costa Rica.
