Las
Baulas National Park: Las Baulas National Park (Parque
Marino las Baulas) is located on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica in the
Province of Guanacaste, near the village of Tamarindo. It supports the
largest nesting colony of leatherback turtles in the Pacific Ocean with
a population size of about 800 female turtles nesting per year in non-El
Niño years. The Park was established by Presidential decree in
1990 and formalized in law in July, 1995. It is made up of three nesting
beaches, Playa Grande, Playa Langosta and Playa Ventanas. It also protects
two mangrove estuaries, Estero de Tamarindo and the Estero de San Francisco,
as well as the ocean out to 12 miles offshore.
Location: The park is located on the North Pacific coast of Costa Rica, 1.2 hour drive from Villa del Sol. It belongs to Tempisque Conservation Area. From the highway 21 (Liberia to Nicoya) turn right just after the village of Belen, follow the signs to Tamarindo, pass the village of Huacas continue on the road up to Matapalo, and after 9 kms you will reach Playa Grande. Did you know? -a
leatherback's favorite food is jellyfish. DO NOT: -drive
or walk on the beach above the high tide line- this crushes eggs DO: -speak
very softly if near a turtle
