Conservation Note
Operators emphasize reef‑safe practices—avoid anchoring on coral, use provided dinghy landings where available, and prefer reef‑safe sunscreen to reduce local impact.
The Puntarenas coastline transitioned from fishing villages to sport‑fishing and marina development over recent decades; Los Sueños Marina is a relatively new recreational hub in that shift.
