Nica Beaches - Playa Ostional

Next on our journey to find our own piece of paradise was Playa Ostional. It is to the south of SJDS, close to the Costa Rican border. For that reason, before we even got to the property, we were stopped by a soldier at a military outpost maybe a kilometer away still from the border. He was very angry with our landlord, for failing to stop at the imaginary line you weren't supposed to cross... (There was some sort of a painted pole on the side of the road that should've told him to stop...)

Anyway, we finally got to continue the trip. Here you can see the coast of Costa Rica on the other side of the bay. Foreigners aren't allowed to buy land too close to the border, therefore one side of the beach was out of limits for us.

The only piece of land available there, was a parcel some 200 meters from the beach. There was a straight road to the beach, so nothing could be built on it, to obstruct the view or access, but it still wasn't ON the beach. The price was good tho, for being so close to the beach in this area: 30,000,00 USD for almost 1.7 acres.

It was late in the evening, and it was cloudy, as you can see.
