The Limoncito Wildlife Refuge was created on April 26th, 1994 to protect migratory bird species in the lowlands, flooded forests and 
palm forests of the central Caribbean coastal region. It is located at the mouth of the Limoncito River, just south of the Limon port in Costa Rica.
The Limoncito Wildlife Refuge has great recreational potential, covered mainly in holillo palm (Raphia taedigera). Also, the refuge has a very beautiful beach, although it has big waves, surrounded with coconut palms (Cocos nucifera). Best access to the Limoncito beach area is by walking south from Limon, a path along the beach from Limón.
There are no public facilities at Limoncito Wildlife Refuge. Other nearby parks include Tortuguero National Park, Cahuita National Park and Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge.
Getting there:
From San Jose, take Highway 32, also known as the Guapiles Highway, that connects the Caribbean region to the rest of the country. Drive along the Braullio Carrillo Highway and reach Limon in just two and a half hours.
Location: south of Limón city, Costa Rica.
