You will inherit numerous plants and fruit trees from the previous owners.
Here is some info on the area:
Ojochal is 20 minutes to the south of Uvita or 35 minutes to the south of Dominical. Palmar Norte is 20 to the south of Ojochal.
The nearest beach is Playa Tortuga, a beautiful expansive beach with the Terraba river mouth on the south end. I also really like Ventanas (which is 5 minutes further by car) because of the caves (or Ventanas/windows) through a cliff beside the beach leading to the ocean on the other side.
As you continue north there are a number of smaller beaches including Pinula. Twenty minutes the north of Ojochal is Ballena National Park that is a great beach and marine reserve with volcanic islands off the coast. It is called Ballena (or whale) because humpbacked whales come to calf here every year and has calm waters around the peninsula great for snorkeling.
North of there, Playa Hermosa and Dominical are know for their surfing. Just a couple minutes to the South of Ojochal is the Terraba River with its barrier islands and expansive mangrove forest leading to the ocean.
The South is much more ethnically diverse than the tourist towns of the Northern and Central coastline, which are primarily American tourist towns. Ojochal is located 20 minute south of Uvita and 20
minutes north of Palmar Norte. It is commonly referred to as Tortuga and Tortuga Arriba on maps Ojochal’s first foreign settlers were the French Canadians, but now has a nice melding of Costa Ricans, French, Canadians, German, British, Americans, and a few other European nationalities.
It has a nice community feel where people stop to chat at the grocery store. The windy village road is dotted with French, German, Gourmet Pizza, wine bar, Canadian, and Tico restaurants, that are a destination for people from
some of the bigger tourist towns. With all of these things within the village or in close proximity Ojochal remains a sleeper village. While there are tourist that come to stay at the local B&Bs the main population is its permanent residents or people that come every year for a hand full of months, giving it a nice community feel. Local
bands play every so often at one of the local bars, karaoke is ever popular, one of the Canadian restaurants has Foosball tournaments, there is a yearly fiesta with a rodeo, farmers market, turtle watching group, and other
organized activities.
Other near by activities organized by tour groups or done on your own include: hiking, waterfalls, kayaking, beaches, surfing, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, eco tours, botanical gardens, boat river and mangrove tours. The proximity of the the mountains to the ocean is this region house a good number of micro climates that house amazing biodiversity and great accessibility to endless outdoor activities. Costa Rica has a great national parks system.
The Osa Peninsula is just to the south and is known for having the most biodiversity in this hemisphere. The coast to the front of the village and north is full of small beaches that I have commonly found myself solo on during a weekday. On the weekends
it is common to find families camping out on the beach and other weekend visitors. Each beach has different intensity, depending on the shape and direction it faces. Some are great for surfing and others are great for swimming and snorkeling.
