Quepos is more vibrant than ever!
There is always something exciting to do or see
Whether it is taking in a show, enjoying an outdoor festival, attending a community class, or simply hanging out and enjoying Quepos’s unique culture. It is the people that make Quepos special. This is a place to work, live and call home.
Puerto Quepos drapes itself across a tropical inlet surrounded by primary rainforest. The village center is a delightful six-block square of restaurants, bars, hotels, bakeries, art galleries and gift shops, all fronted by the main beach and sportfishing fleet. Quepos is growing quickly yet maintains many of its sleepy and humble beginnings.
The new Marina Pez Vela, a 300-slip full service marina capable of handling vessel up to 200 ft. is under construction and will be open for business soon, putting Quepos on the map for sportfishing and yachting enthusiasts.
Quepeños are great celebrators of life and seem to make dancing in the streets a local pastime. The high season runs through the drier months of December to April and explodes during the Festival del Mar, a month long party held each February that features concerts, sporting events, parades and a street carnival with dancers from across the country. Quepos fills to the brim with families, surfers, backpackers, ecotourists, blissed-out scientists and gay jet-setters, all as colorful and intriguing as the flora and fauna surrounding the village. The ever-friendly locals take it all in stride, going out of their way to make sure everyone has a good time.
