Punta Uva (Grape Point) is internationally recognized as one of the world's most beautiful beaches by several leading publications including Outdoor magazine. It is very safe for swimming, as the point and the coral reefs protect the ocean waves from reaching the shore. Some of the best snorkeling in the country occurs just off the point.

Most of Punta Uva lies within the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge, hence making it wonderful to live within and observe the wonderful nature.
