Bahia Santa Elena



Bahia Santa Elena is wonderful. There is nothing and nobody here except for the rainforest, a tropical dry forest. There are only two tropical dry forests left in the world. One is here, the other is in Colombia. The anchorage is well protected from every direction, and it is beautiful. The only glitch is that we need to check into the country, and the nearest port of entry is 40 miles south in Playa del Coco.



We took the dinghy around shore and to the beach. The snorkeling wasn't too good because the surf had kicked up the very fine sand, making a milky sea. In the trees, we saw many birds and an iguana. Sula saw a couple of monkeys in the trees.
