About Ostional Real Estate

A place filled with magical wonder, Ostional will completely charm you. The lush, tropical landscape and black sand beach will entice you like no other place on earth. If you are looking for a truly unique experience or a wondrous place to retire, Ostional is perfect.

As an added bonus, wildlife lovers may never want to leave after experiencing the nesting ritual of the Ridley sea turtles. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle awaits those who are patient enough to watch them arrive, slowly cross the beach, and make nests for their precious endangered babies. Since the 1960s, this beach has been one of their major nesting sites. It is one of the few places in the world where travelers can witness this amazing event.

But Ostional is so much more than its exotic black beach. The town is filled with the unique charms of traditional Costa Rica and the nature that surrounds the town is a prime example of Costa Rica’s rare biodiversity. Those who venture here find a place that seems lost in time. It harkens back to an unspoiled era before the world became so commercialized. That in itself is worth the trip!

Costa Rica is well known as a country committed to preserving their natural heritage. Development happens thoughtfully, slowly, and in tune with the surroundings. It is in this way they protect both the earth and every species who thrives in it.

As the pace of development happens at a leisurely pace, so do the locals. They enjoy the laidback atmosphere. Ex-pats have also discovered this slower, more relaxed way of life in Ostional. If you are looking for a place to unwind and cast off your worries, come here.

Residents prize the small but poignant details of life here. Things like walking on black sands at the water’s edge and seeing a magnificent sunset, or trekking through the jungle and finding a hidden waterfall. Ostional is a place of pure enchantment.

And when the rainy season comes, the sea turtles aren’t far behind. As many as several thousand sea turtles have been known to congregate here to give birth to a new generation. This 5-day event can result in millions of eggs buried on the beach. It’s a local tradition to stand guard at night to protect the eggs from poachers, both animal and human. The sand’s temperature during the next two months determines the sex of the baby turtles.

The hatching generally happens at night, so if you volunteer to guard the eggs you might be lucky enough to witness the tiny creatures emerging from the sands and scrambling toward the water. But it isn’t unheard of to be sunning yourself during the day and having a turtle baby pop out and say hello!

Not all of the baby turtles will survive but with the help of locals they are given a fair chance at a life in the ocean. Many people give them an easier start by carrying them to their destination. In Costa Rica, all life is valued.
