Caribbean Dream
Lonely Island
by Michael

I've now been up and down the caribbean coast of Costa Rica and I can confidently say that the most photogenic place is the Gandoca Reserve near Manzanillo. Here I finally got some caribbean vibes, which I was missing the previous four weeks. The other beaches up north are nice, don't get me wrong. But they are not as photogenic as what you find here.
