Drake Bay, (pronounced Bahia Drak Cay by the Costa Ricans and locals) is only accessible by air and water. Although there is a new road, we do not recommend taking a rental car on it as it is seasonal and rains can come at all times of the year here.

You can now fly directly to Drake as the new airstrip is open. This unfortunately eliminates one of the most spectacular boat rides through the mangroves and river delta into the ocean and around a point to Drake Bay. See "Getting to Drake" for more information.

This is truly an outdoor lover's paradise. Hiking, fishing, scuba diving, snorkeling, sea kayaking, and sunbathing are just some of the many outdoor activities here. 

If you are looking for shopping, night life, and luxury, this is definately not the place. One small store (pulperia) and a small disco that is open on Saturday nights (that may remind you more of a high school dance than a disco) are the total sum of shopping and night life. However, if you are looking for natural beauty, wilderness rain forest, lots of wildlife, friendly people, and a place to get away from it all then we highly recommend Drake as your getaway vacation destination.

The resorts here all provide meals so there isn't much in terms of restaurants either. Bring sunblock, first aid supplies, medication, and anything else you may need while you are here as the pulperia is not that well stocked.
