Location and Directions:
Cabinas la Tranquilidad is beachfront on Isla Palo Seco at Parrita on the Central Pacific Coast. From the airport in San Jose, take the road to Jaco. Continue past Jaco through Parrita. Parrita is the closest town, about ten minutes from the island. After crossing the one lane bridge, turn right to Isla Palo Seco. Follow this road to a short bridge which is the entrance to the island. Turn left on the island road and go about 5 miles. There are mostly beach houses and private residences of native Costa Rican families on the island. There are two large hotels on the island, and three restaurants and bars which service the local people and beach visitors.
Behind the narrow island is a wide estuary which flows in and out with the ocean tides. With the backdrop of huge mountains, this is a view to cherish. There is boat access to the estuary at the back of Cabinas la Tranquilidad. Enjoy the quiet, relaxing character of Costa Rica's natural environment at Cabinas la Tranquilidad.
