Stock Photo - Located in southern Limon, lies the Costa Rican surfer town of Puerto Viejo de Talamanca and the tiny beach communities south of it­ Cocles, Playa Chiquita, Punta Uva and Manzanillo. A 11 mile-long necklace of small sandy coves lined with palm trees bending and swaying over the waters edge; reggae music playing out of cheerful rustic cafes and pastel painted shacks that line a mostly dirt road; and exotic primary forest alive with sloths and parrots and monkeys sometimes just yards from the shore. Pictured: Tourists Rory and Bev Young from Oregon, and her son enjoy a surfing and beach day at Cocles Beach Break.
