Along the Coastal highway beyond
the Jaco Hermosa area, you will cross
the Tusubres River and enter Parrita county. Because of a change in the
coastal
topography, the Pacific beaches in this region are primarily southern
facing.

Parrita Canton Costa Rica
Esterillos Oeste and Este, and the small Playa Bejuco, are tranquil
residential
communities, with a casual tourist crowd based on surfing. Vacationers
will
find lodging at small surf camps or luxury vactional rental houses,
with
very little in the mid-range.
Parrita can also be reached via the Guapinol
highway from Puriscal and the inland Talamanca mountains. The town
itself
straddles the huge Parrita River, and further south you will find the
Rio
Palo Seco and its estuary, which have formed a barrier island, the Isla
Palo
Seco.
Tourists
find the Class II rapids on the Parrita River to be a fun and no so
strenuous
whitewater rafting adventure. The Coastal highway continues, and you
will
leave Parrita for Aguirre canton when you cross the Rio Damas.
