Artisanal fishing in Guanacaste and Communities
The coastal communities of Guanacaste such as; Playas del Coco, Playa Tamarindo, Playa Samara, Playa Guajiniquil and others in the Papagayo Gulf, for many years the artisanal fishing has been the main economic contribution and survival of these localities.
Currently with the arrival of tourism in Costa Rica starting in 2000 and gaining strength from 2005 onwards, this artisanal fishing activity has been losing prominence in the practice as more and new economic opportunities have opened up, not only for locals, but also for many others who come from other countries in search of job opportunities in the hotel industry and sport fishing, which is a great economic contribution to the communities.
If you are a visitant that is staying near Guanacaste and is interested in practicing sport fishing in the Gulf of Papagayo, you can visit Papagayo Fishing and go fishing and catch the fish of your interest.
