About this site
Escorpiones lies off the Guanacaste coast of northwestern Costa Rica, part of the Pacific dive grounds accessed from towns such as Playas del Coco and the Papagayo peninsula area. Boats serving this stretch of coast typically run out to a scatter of rocky points and islets in the Gulf of Papagayo.
