5 Reasons Living on Lake Arenal Is Better Than Living at the Beach in Costa Rica

Beach vacations are the cliché of shoreside luxury. Think outside the beach and invest in a property on Lake Arenal. Here are a list of five reasons that you will prefer Costa Rica’s largest lake to any coastal establishment:

1. Cooler Climate

   Costa Rica’s proximity to the equator means even a sea breeze doesn’t go very far in relieving the heat. The hilly areas around Lake Arenal, however, are elevated, breezy and much cooler than the beach.

   While seaside dwellers will bake in the sun day in and day out, those surrounding Lake Arenal have all the benefits of a major water source without the drawbacks of the salt, sun and sand.



2. No Water Shortages

   Water shortages are becoming increasingly common worldwide, from California to the Kalahari. As this universal issue comes to a head, make sure your next investment is in a property with easy proximity to fresh water.

   Lake Arenal is Costa Rica’s largest freshwater lake, and the ideal place for those looking to avoid a water shortage issue.



3. Great for Gardeners

   The moderate climate, constant sunshine, and rich soil found further inland in Costa Rica is ideal for those who enjoy gardening. It’s more than just a hobby–gardening is a way to feed yourself and sustain your family without any dependence upon availability in local markets or grocery stores.

   Grow your own fruit and vegetables from your very own back yard, and experience the liberty of a diet based on vittles harvested beneath the Costa Rican sun.

4. More Peace and Quiet

   If the beach is accessible from your home, your home is accessible to anyone walking along the beach. Lake Arenal provides the sanctuary of privacy while maintaining the benefits of activity-rich water sport and leisure.

   Enjoy the superior privacy of the jungle without compromising your sunrise over the waterfront.



5. Diversity of Neighbors

   The surrounding Lake Arenal area features a fabulous mixture of established expats and friendly locals. Delight in the personable nature of your new neighbors rather than the faceless autonomy of a beach vacation town.

Get excited for your next home investment where inland Costa Rica becomes ideal lakeside property.
