About Bahia-Drake
Drake Bay is a beautiful beach that derives its name from a supposed visit by Capitan Drake in 1579 during his trip around the world in the Golden Hind. Drake Bay is only a few kilometers from the Corcovado National Park and directly in front of the biological reserve of Caño Island (look for Drake Bay in the map section). Both Cordovado and Caño Island have an abundance of wildlife that is protected; therefore, visitors are limited to observe without being able to extract or to exploit the resources of the area.
Nearby Cocalito beach is also very beautiful.
Getting to Drake Bake is difficult, since the road has not been in good condition for sometime, although in the year 2005 there was a reconstruction project of the street. You can also charter a plane as there is an airport in the area (for more information please see the flight schedule on this site) or you can arrive by boat from Uvita, Dominical, Golfito, Port Jiménez or Pavones. ...
