What should I pack when moving to Playa Grande?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Playa Grande to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Playa Grande, you should pack lightweight clothing due to the tropical climate, including shorts, t-shirts, and swimwear. Don't forget to bring a rain jacket or umbrella, as Costa Rica experiences a rainy season. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are essential for exploring the local area. Pack plenty of sun protection, such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat, as the sun can be intense. You may also want to bring insect repellent to protect against mosquitoes. If you plan on cooking, consider packing some of your favorite spices or non-perishable food items, as they may be hard to find locally. Bring any necessary prescription medications, along with a copy of your prescription. It's also a good idea to pack a basic first aid kit. Don't forget to pack your important documents, such as your passport, driver's license, and any necessary visas or permits. If you're planning on working or studying, bring any necessary work materials or school supplies, as they may be more expensive to purchase locally. Lastly, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos, favorite books, or small decor items," said another expat in Playa Grande, Costa Rica.
