Costa Rica has an Maritime Zoning Law. The first 636 feet from the high tide line are public. Only a very few exceptions exist, such as this one: Nearly 85 acres with 1 mile of berachfront on the Central Pacific Coast. We got the title 5 months ago after struggeling over several years with authorities. The S. Regis invested more than $ 200M next to the Marriott Los Sueños, just 5 miles from our location. Also, beachfront in Jaco is around $ 1,000 m2. Our land is under $ 250 m2. Be fast, this option will be gone soon.
