In an unusual natural occurance here on the Pacific Coast, we are seeing now the results of a red tide. The water in Flamingo Marina is red and murky, while Playa Flamingo, the popular swimming beach, has stayed clean.
This happens from time to time and is described by the locals as "oceanic mensttuation." From the sight and smell of the sea today, I can tell you we will be glad when it is over... This also happens in the US, in coastal places. It doesn't just affect Costa Rica.
E warned me about getting in the water while this is happening, that it can result in a rash or some other kind of skin irritation. So be careful if you see any red beaches while you are here!
Pura Vida.
