Drake Bay Snapshot
Heavenly adrift from the 21st century's charm, the far-flung Drake Bay is a stretch of castaway wildlife fantasy with unspoiled beaches and untamed jungle.

Offshore the bay, divers swim with white-tipped reef sharks while snorkelers chase schools of fish. Anglers rejoice in their catches. Others boat next to pods of dolphins or matting whales. Inland, they rise to the sounds of the squawking macaws or howler monkeys, zip line the treetops of the forests, float down Claro River or explore the Corcovado National Park.
Peering through the Pacific Ocean, ensconced in the rainforest, sprinkled with eco-lodges, cabins, restaurants and local homes, Agujitas – often referred as Drake town, – the main village, harbors small boats and the glamour of the Costa Rica countryside in the 1900's with dirt roads, very few cars and buildings.
Drake Bay, named after the British explorer Sir Francis Drake, who is believed to have used the bay as a port in his last trips to the Americas 1595-1596.
