Las Baulas is one of Costa Rica’s most important marine conservation areas. The park is internationally recognized for protecting endangered leatherback sea turtles, which nest along Playa Grande between October and March.
Visitors can join guided nighttime turtle-watching tours during nesting season, explore mangrove estuaries by kayak, or simply enjoy the untouched beauty of protected beaches. This national park offers a rare opportunity to witness wildlife conservation in action while experiencing Costa Rica’s extraordinary biodiversity.
