The small town of Parrita is located 45 kilometers south of Jaco, in the center of a 1,700-hectare African oil palm ranch.
Where did Parrita get its name?
Almost all of Costa Rica's territory was inhabited before the arrival of the Spanish. In 1924, a young German installed the first banana plantation near the Pirris River (also called the Parrita River) which encouraged migration of people from San Jose and Guanacaste. The origin of the name, so the story goes, has to do with a woman named Rita who lived in one of the original settlements. Rita had a business and received packages. “Es pa´ Rita” (It´s for Rita) was often heard so the canton was called Parrita.
The canton of Parrita is surrounded by rivers Damas, Picaritos, Palo Seco, Chires, Jicote and the Parrita. There have been serious flooding problems near the mouth of these rivers for some time. The economy is dedicated primarily to the production of African palm. These were cultivated which substituted the banana industry.
Parrita's weather is very warm since elevation is only 15m above sea level.
Along the Coastal highway beyond the Jaco Hermosa area, you will cross the Tusubres River and enter Parrita county. Because of a change in the coastal topography, the Pacific beaches in this Costa Rica area are primarily heading south.
Central Pacific
Cabo Blanco to Drake Bay Quepos is center of fishing on the central coast, but there are charters avaible out of Puntarenas, the resorts at the southern end of Nicoya Peninsula, Jacó Beach, Punta Leona and at Drake Bay. Billfish are the target of most visiting anglers, and they are seldom disappointed from around December through April.
Some sails and marlin are taken throughout the year. From most areas mentioned above, it's no more than 12 to 20 miles run to the blue water where most of the billfish action is encountered. Inshore sport includes tuna, roosterfish, wahoo, dorado, jacks, mackerel, cubera, a varity of small snapper species and even snook.
The snook can be taken trolling just outside the breaker line off the river mouths in the area, but are more often fished from shore. Some boats out of Quepos also offer multi-day trips to Drake Bay and Caño's Island area, overnighting at one of the several lodgescentered around Drake Bay. This region is best known for its eahoo, big cubera and roosterfish, but there are also tuna, dorado, sails and some marlin.
