Nightlife

Golfito is a rough-and-tumble port town, and it pays to be careful here after dark. Right in town, about 1 1/2 blocks inland and uphill from the muellecito, Latitude 8 is the most popular spot. Most folks stick pretty close to their hotel bar and restaurant. Of these, the bar/restaurants at Las Gaviotas and Samoa del Sur are, by far, the liveliest. If you're feeling lucky, you can head to the casino at the Hotel Sierra.
