Recent changes to the community of Quepos could prove to be just what is needed to attract visitors, according to a recent report by The Costa Rica Star.

Prior to 2008, the community of Quepos was hardly a major attraction for visitors. In recent years; however, a series of changes have served to completely transform this community.

Among the most noticeable of those changes has been the replacement of the two bridges that previously slowed down incoming traffic.

In addition, a new coastal highway has been constructed from San Jose, thus significantly reducing driving time.

The construction of several new parks in the community, along with a beautiful new pedestrian waterfront promenade has served to make Quepos quite visitor friendly.

First purchased by PIMSA in 2011, the marina is slated to become a major draw for the area. That transformation began in 2013 when the marina hosted the Offshore World Championship. Within just a few months, the commercial areas as well as the marina underwent significant changes.

During the Offshore World Championship, new records were set for catch-and-release. The new commercial center of the marina was home to a special celebration, including live music, fireworks, and awards.

Consequently, Pez Vela Marina has continued to attract attention from deep sea fishing enthusiasts.

In light of such recognition, Manuel Antonio has developed a rapid reputation among the affluent as the boutique beach destination to visit on the central Pacific coast.

Along with attracting attention from the boating industry, Pez Vela Marina is now offering several ocean tours. As a result, the marina has become an excellent attraction for sports fishing enthusiasts as well as those who simply want to soak up the coastal lifestyle.

From birding to taking walks along the boardwalk, there is something for everyone here. Open-air restaurant invite visitors to relax and enjoy a sumptuous meal while overlooking the ocean and listening to live music.

Now officially open to the public, Pez Vela Marina is on schedule to quickly become one of the trendiest spots in the area.
