Punta Uva is definitely the beach I love the most in Limon. It has three entrances, so I recommend trying the one near Rest. Selvin and also the one at Arrecife. There aren't many options for dining and drinking nearby, so it's a good idea to bring lots of water and snacks. And please remember to take your garbage back with you. Oh, and there's a rock you can climb that offers an incredible view.

This beach truly took my breath away. The clarity of the water, the beauty of the reef, and the presence of palm trees make it absolutely enchanting. It perfectly embodies the image of a Caribbean beach. The sand is incredibly soft and white, making it irresistible to spend the entire day here. As we lounged, we were delighted by the passing food vendors offering delectable Argentinian cuisine, with the choripan being my personal favorite. We also indulged in churros and empanadas. Fortunately, parking was plentiful (although we visited during the low season), and the beach was not crowded at all. My husband and I had a wonderful time snorkeling, relaxing under the shade of the trees, and swimming. It truly is a sight to behold.

This beach in Costa Rica is considered the best (not just in Costa Rica, but in the entire world!). The area known as Arrecife is particularly enjoyable. There aren't many restaurants around, so many visitors prefer to bring their own food. The views and palm trees are absolutely stunning, especially when the sun is shining.

There are multiple locations labeled Punta Uvas on the map, but if you're curious, this particular spot is where the beach is most stunning. It may not be as serene as cara (the other location) that stretches almost all the way to the beach, but the combination of palm trees and sandy shoreline here is truly remarkable. Additionally, swimming here is fantastic as you can enjoy playful waves that are just the right size.
