Birchcreek Costa Rica Weather

Samara Beach has among the longest sun light days and the country´s lowest rain fall. Temperature does not vary at all throughout the year and remains at an average 71 degrees (21.7 degrees Celsius) in the shade and up to 81 degrees (27 degrees Celsius) in the direct sun. Evenings are fresh with a nice sea breeze never making it necessary to wear a jacket. The “green season” begins in May and runs its course until November. Days are usually sunny and pleasant, with a  refreshing shower coming later in the day. Our typical day during these months takes advantage of the outstanding morning and early afternoon sunshine, allowing for spa treatments, touring and relaxing time during the late afternoon .
