The New Marina as some refer to it is in Quepos. Some of the worlds best fishing tournaments are held here. But you don't need to fish to enjoy the shops, great restaurants and beautiful boats. There are charters available from budget minded to super deluxe offshore fishing yachts. The marina is about 6 years old and a great addition to the central Pacific coast of Costa Rica

What a beautiful spot. Hooks has happy hour margarita me for a dollar, or mil so that’s less than a dollar. The sunsets are amazing. The town has character and you can walk from one end to the other no problem.

A truly epic Marina. It reminds me of something you would expect on Maui as far as quality goes. Daily fishing escapades embark out of here and there are a number of good restaurants and shops throughout. Honestly it's just a great place to sit down, gawk at the views and wander around. Enjoyable for tourists and locals alike.
