Pavones, on the southern Pacific coast near the Panama border, is a quiet village known among surfers for one of the longest left-hand waves in the world. Together with nearby Puerto Pilón, it sits at the mouth of the Golfo Dulce, a tropical gulf surrounded by rainforest and close to the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park.
Why buy in Pavones and the Golfo Dulce
- Unspoiled nature: jungle, rivers, dolphins and whales in the gulf, very low density.
- Larger lots and more privacy for your budget than in better-known beach towns.
- A small, friendly community of locals and international residents.
- Ideal for a retreat, an eco-lodge project or a peaceful second home.
Getting there
The nearest domestic airport is in Golfito, with flights from San José; from there it is about an hour and a half by road. Puerto Jiménez, on the other side of the gulf, is reachable by boat. This is a remote area: we help you check access, water, electricity and internet for each property.
