Cabuya is the gateway to the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve and it is strategically located for quick access to all the interesting places, resorts, and beautiful beaches that the lower Nicoya Peninsula offers to all visitors.

You can enjoy an spectacular sunrise at the beach in Cabuya, then move on to Mal Pais or Santa Teresa for afternoon surfing or a cocktail, and enjoy the sunsetl at the beach. After that, and in less than an hour, you could be in Montezuma for dinner in one of the many restaurants available there. This is the type of flexibility that setting base at Cabuya can provide the visitors to this worderful and nature-rich area of Costa Rica.

Cabuya is a small and quite fishing community and its the nearest town to the Cabo Blanco National Park.

The town has a small well-stocked grocery store, a local bar, and a bakery store that provides fresh bread and a great breakfast every morning.

An interesting site in the area is the Cabuya island which features the only active island cementery in the country. The island can be visited by walking to it from the beach on low tide. This is a pleasant hike that does not take more than an hour from the town, and can be done at any time during the day depending on the tide.

Besides the cementery, there is a small plantation of Cabuya plants in the island. The Cabuya plant have been used by native people to fabricate textiles and ropes way before pre-columbian times. This Agave-like plant is what gives the area its name.

Another interesting place is the Cabuya beach itself where the fishermen gather, anchor their boats, and bring in their daily catch. So you could buy fresh fish or seafood from them at the beach if you so desired, or just observe how they go on with their fishing tasks.

If you are interested in bird watching, observing nature, or just getting a refreshing swim in a fresh water pond then you can visit the Lajas River which is just walking distance from Cabuya.

Cabuya's strategic location is ideal for all nature lovers looking for a place to set base off the beaten track.
