The waters around Costa Rica have once again been hailed as an idyllic spot for casual and serious sport fishermen alike.

According to a recent feature in The Costa Rica News, the country's central Pacific region is celebrated the world over for its high-quality excursions.

The area has racked up numerous accolades, including more than 80 fishing records as well as a number of sportfishing records from the International Game Fish Association.

The popular pasttime can be divided into two types: inshore and offshore. Visitors can participate in both, particularly around scenic beach villages such as Manuel Antonio and Jaco.

Inshore fishing is defined as fishing in shallow waters at a depth of less than 30 metres. This type is often the preferred option for more casual fishermen, as less equipment is required, making it far less expensive than its deep-sea counterpart.

Offshore fishing is obviously the opposite—sport fishermen trek out into deeper waters on the hunt for bigger prey. And the adventurous sportsmen who try tackling offshore can expect to see more big game. Those with a fierce competitive side or looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience can take on the task in hopes of landing a mammoth Marlin or Sailfish.

Los Suenos is famed for its deep waters and golden shores. It is the center of Costa Rica’s fishing, with charter ships weaving in and out of the marina every day.

Travelers wishing to take a break from their quests for record-breaking Marlins and Snooks, however, can still find much to do in Los Suenos -- such as indulging in its world-class golf course.

Tucked among the Central Pacific is La Iguana. This breathtaking course--designed by Ted Robinson Jr., noted architect and sport enthusiast--introduces visitors not only to Costa Rica’s stunning scenery, but also provides professional-worthy gaming. 

La Iguana winds its ways across 6,698 yards. It is regarded as a championship course, featuring 18 holes, a 72 par and a slope of 145. The dynamic field shifts from lush fairways to tree-lined hazards to lake-guarded greens. Every section boasts a new environment and a new challenge. 

La Iguana is more than a mere course, however. Instead it is a tribute to Costa Rica’s beauty. The rainforest flanks every hole, flooding the senses with exotic flora and fauna. Every game becomes an experience: undeniable, unforgettable and one-of-a-kind.

Los Suenos is not just a harbor. Instead it offers guests endless entertainments. Visit the La Iguana today!
