Green Season crowds – no parking

Even in the green season, Costa Rican Saturday’s are often crowded at the beach.

During our morning walk at Playa Carrillo, we had to dodge a huge surf school (of three students).

There was a family strolling in the surf.

We narrowly avoided a fellow walking his two dogs.

And insult of insults, someone took our parking place.

Seriously, do you know why the tourism board of Costa Rica prefers to call this time of year the “Green Season” instead of the ”rainy season”?

Because it’s true.  And no crowds is a bonus.
