March in Costa Rica

Brilliant time to go explore

Early March is one of the best times to holiday to Costa Rica, especially to the west and central regions, and the Osa Peninsula, where the weather is hot and sunny, with almost no rain. This is one of the hottest months in these regions, though humidity is minimal, so it is an ideal time to enjoy the beaches. Though Olive Ridley turtles can typically be seen year-round from Ostional, March and April offer the lowest chances of seeing any nesting activity due to the summer heat. On the Caribbean coast, this is one of the drier months though it is never as dry here as it can be elsewhere in Costa Rica.
