Find Sportfishing Charters in Guanacaste
 
Sailfish in Southern Costa Rica
Along with some of the best beaches and surfing in Costa Rica, Guanacaste is now also famous for its sportfishing. A top notch angling destination, this province gives the avid fishing enthusiast a number of different locations to fish from, which in turn means that no one region is ever overcrowded or teeming with boats. Add to this the excellent weather conditions found here, and one can enjoy fishing off the Guanacaste coast all day long.

There are a number of places where one can go to fish in Guanacaste. If you enjoy fishing, you can either arrange for an angling tour with your hotel or travel company, or if you like, just head out to one of the many marinas and charter a boat. With a wade variety of game fish found in the Pacific Ocean, fishing can be a really exciting prospect. Marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, dorado and roosterfish are just some of the many fish species found off the Nicoya Peninsula.

Probably one of the best places to go fish and catch a bite is at Playa Ocotal. A small sandy beach, this town is an excellent fishing destination with a number of angling tours operating in the area. The nearby Playa Brasilito is also a great place to go fishing. Playa Flamingo which sits some 3 km north of Brasilito is another good fishing spot close by. Being developed as a major boating and sportfishing destination, this beach is now a must visit for some good offshore fishing with plenty of fishing charters on hand around here.

Playa Grande, Playa Hermosa and Playa Potrero are also first-rate angling destinations along Guanacaste’s northwestern coast. For the ardent sports fisherman, a visit to Tamarindo is a must. Being the most well developed town on the peninsula, Tamarindo offers an extensive range of fishing and boat charters as well as plenty of accommodations, restaurants, hotels, resorts and tour companies.

To see local Ticos fish head down south of Tamarindo to Playa Nosara, where at Nosara village you will find plenty of native fisherman use age old angling techniques. Playa San Miguel just past Punta Islita is another decent fishing spot and is worth a visit due to its secluded and isolated beaches away from the more touristy crowds.
