Ocean Front Property in Costa Rica, Do you sell it?
Do you sell ocean front property?
Costa Rica does not sell ocean front, the first 200 meters above the high water mark are public lands. You can not own ocean front in Costa Rica although some hotels and condos have been built on what is referred to as concession property, but that property is leased, not owned. Our developments are on the hillside above the ocean on land that can be owned. We have ocean view but not ocean front. Our lots are all less than 3 miles from the beach and many are much closer. We are up the hill for the view. Learn About Maritime Concession Here.
Being near trhe beach tends to bring a few unfavorable characteristics. Bugs are much more plentiful at the beach than they are up the hill. Salt air is bad for most equipment, appliances and automobiles. The Costanera highway runs right along the beach and since this is becoming a major truck route, along with the trucks comes truck noise from Jake Brakes and general truck sounds. The beaches are almost all public except for a tiny part of the coastal area that falls within a marine national park
