The Phenomenon of Arribadas
The rainy season transforms Playa Ostional into the scene of a unique phenomenon: the arribadas. Between August and December, thousands of olive ridley turtles gather on the beach to lay their eggs. Over several days, a steady flow of turtles can be observed, offering an unforgettable spectacle that can be enjoyed both day and night. Witnessing this event in Turtles Ostional Beach Costa Rica is a captivating experience, where life renews itself before our eyes.
Ostional Wildlife Refuge
The Ostional Wildlife Refuge was created to protect sea turtles and their nesting habitats. This refuge not only safeguards the arribadas but also promotes local community involvement in conservation efforts. Thanks to this sustainable approach, Ostional has become a global model for marine protection, demonstrating how collaboration can benefit both nature and people.
