WHY GUANACASTE

Guanacaste which translates to "ear" in pre-Columbian dialect because of the large ear shaped seed pods is a giant umbrella like hardwood tree indigenous to the region and from where the Guanacaste province takes its name. Located on the northwest Pacific coast of Costa Rica bordering Nicaragua, Guanacaste includes 400 scalloped miles of coastal jungle, incredible weather and secluded world class resorts. Definitely something for everyone. Guanacaste is very popular with tourists and expats alike since international air sevice to the province began in 2012. Bucket list level experiences abound here for families including active volcanoes, cloud forests, healing volcanic mud springs and a new World Heritage SIte that spans the Pacific coast to the Caribbean lowlands and is considered to be one of the most important intact ecological habitats in the world with an incredible array of exotic species. By all measures a stunning commitment to preservation and ecology. Tamarindo is the admitted hub of the province and the starting point for coverage of Guanacaste and the 40 main beach towns of Costa Rica's spectacular "Gold Coast"

Who are we?

SEO INCREASES REVENUE BY BUILDING ORGANIC TRAFFIC FROM SEARCH ENGINES

My name is Rodgers Bestgen and I have lived in Costa Rica for 18 years. I was raised on Cape Cod and attended Penn & Harvard where I studied economics and Philosophy. When dad died unexpectedly and the terrorists attacked I felt the strong need for a new way of life. Guanacaste Province had a very strong impact on me on my one visit. I mean seriously? Cows grazing across the street from a brand new international airport and the most beautiful remote beaches in the world only 45 minutes away. The opportunity was obvious, the beauty unparalleled, the decision clear. Guanacaste was my destination. I picked Potrero strategically on a map and with characteristic hopeless optimism, no Spanish and confidence that I would figure it all out I set out in my jeep full of computer equipment from the office I had closed, my big Weimaraner Seikan and a bike tied to the roof and drove solo 11 days to Brasilito beach where I opened an internet cafe. That led to a position as technical director for the Country Day School ( now CRIA academy) for several years before I formed World Reach SEO & Design, taking as early clients Blue Water Properties , The Costa Rican Health Chamber PROMED, and Julius Kudelka, builder of the beautifully designed Mango condominiums in Tamarindo and my partner on this project. Read about my harrowing drive and the line I heard more than once before leaving Cape Cod...

POPULAR BEACH AREA DIRECTORIES

Playa Tamarindo

Tamarindo in the Guanacaste Province, on Costa Rica’s Pacific coast is known for beaches with strong surf, like Playa Tamarindo and Playa Langosta. To the north, Playa Grande beach is a major nesting site for huge leatherback turtles, and forms part of Las Baulas National Marine Park. The mangrove-lined estuary of Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge protects animals such as howler monkeys and crocodiles.

Playa Grande

As part of the Marino Las Baulas National Park, Playa Grande in Costa Rica is not just a beautiful beach, it’s an important beach for turtles and wildlife. It’s also one of the best beaches for surfers looking to score some fast and fun waves.

Playa Flamingo

Playa Flamingo is the ideal vacation getaway! For decades it has been one of Costa Rica’s favorite vacation destinations by both foreigners and Costa Ricans (Ticos). With the expected completion of a long awaited deep water marina this year Flamingo is poised to become an important jewel in the Guanacaste crown

Playa Negra

Playa Negra has long been known for its world-famous surf break. Memorialized in the famous surfing film Endless Summer, Playa Negra is also close to several other famous Guanacaste surf spots including Playa Avellana, Playa Junquillal, Playa Langosta, Witch’s Rock and Tamarindo.

Playa Brasilito

Brasilito is the quintessential Tico fishing village with lots of cool holes in the wall, broad beautiful beaches and a thriving local population. Playa Conchal is the next beach south.

Playa Potrero

Potrero is a hidden jewel in the north-west of Guanacaste, named after the eponymous beach. This rural town embraces the old Costa Rican coast villages style and can be seen as a tranquil spot away from other touristy places.
