Located in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, on the lower Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula, San Miguel is a small but growing residential community, away from the tourist track. The area is defined by its beautiful lush tropical landscape of valleys, lowlands, mountains, and 25 km of solitary beachfront.
San Miguel is peaceful, quiet and undiscovered, yet plenty of activities are within easy and convenient access. Click here for a printable map of Costa Rica in pdf format.
