Destination Overview

The history of Golfito is interesting, the city is now on the rise again due to tourism and not bananas. Golfito used to be thriving banana port for many years about 1930-1990.

Golfito is Costa Rica’s most southern port town; it located across from the Osa Peninsula on the Golfo Dulce. Golfito has long been known to surfers as the gateway to Pavones, just to the south, and to sport fishermen as the year-round sport fishing meca.

This Town has become the gateway to Costa Rica’s newest attraction Eco-Lodges, these places are all about being a small hotel or lodge that blends into its environment while offering its visitors an opportunity to view its natural surroundings with the least amount of impact to the environment.
