Ojochal a tranquil spot in Costa Rica

If a town along Costa Ballena genuinely deserves to be called a tranquil spot, it is Ojochal. If you seek quiet and calm, you will find it here. That's why many foreigners, especially French Canadians and North Americans, made their new home here in this relaxed town. That does not mean that there is nothing to do; there are many places to explore while staying here. Yoga and Pilates are offered in several retreats for peace seekers.

If you love going to the beach, you should visit Playa Tortuga; and as the name says, the beach is named after the turtles that nest here, mostly Lora or English Olive Ridley, although there are reports of green and leatherback turtles. During the turtle season, they come here in large numbers to lay their eggs

Near to Ojochal is another beautiful beach called Playa Ventanas; its name comes from the big openings in the rocks that the ocean shaped like a big "ventana", the Spanish word for window.

After a day full of adventures, you can choose between tasty local and international restaurants. Ojochal is a town where many foreigners settled, creating an attractive "gourmet destination" in Costa Ballena.
