Marina Pez Vela
A modern yacht marina on the Quepos waterfront, where sport fishing, sunset catamarans and dolphin-watching cruises depart. Restaurants, cafés and a market line the shore.
Pez Vela Marina opened in 2013 and is one of the most important yacht harbors on Costa Rica's Pacific coast. Quepos is also famous for sailfish sport fishing and hosts an international fishing tournament every year. The marina area has a waterfront walkway, seafood restaurants, ice cream shops and handicraft shops, with occasional farmers' markets on weekends. Sunset catamaran sailing (including snorkeling and dinner, about USD 80-100) and charter sport-fishing boats all depart from here. It is about 10 minutes by car from the Manuel Antonio resort area, and buses connect the two.
