Drake Bay
The small town of Drake built up around Drake Bay and the surrounding region have only about 1 500 full time residents Of course there is a constant presence of tourists who have come here to enjoy scuba diving...
Drake Bay on the southwestern coast of Costa Rica on the west side of the Osa Peninsula received its name from the fact that Francis Drake s small fleet anchored there in the late 1570s Francis Drake was the British privateer or pirate to the Spaniards who sailed around the world The bay itself and the town that runs alongside it is rather remote and is reached by boat Homes for sale in Drake Bay Costa Rica are for people who like living in such an out of the way region or at least having a vacation home there It is possible to scuba dive here as well as watch dolphins and whales
There are many towns in Costa Rica that can be described as living a slow paced and laid back life and Drake Bay is one of them There is an airstrip in the region which is the quickest way to get there It is also possible to fly to a town called Palomar Sur take a taxi ride to Sierpe and from there take an hour long boat ride to the bay Drake Bay homes will have electricity but there are few services in the town However because Costa Rica is doing its best to improve its infrastructure for tourists this is bound to change in the future
