Introducing La Cruz

La Cruz is the closest town to the main border crossing with Nicaragua, and it’s the principal gateway to Bahía Salinas, one of Costa Rica’s premier wind- and kite-surfing destinations. Although it’s a fairly boring provincial town with the same drab architecture characteristic of most Costa Rican settlements, its hilltop location is awash with scenic views of the coastline, and it’s a rather pleasant place to spend the night (at least by border-town standards).
