Big Boy Baseball Stadium
Baseball is part of Limón’s cultural story, and Big Boy Stadium is a named landmark on the city heritage route. Check any event or visitor arrangements locally; the presence of a stadium does not imply unrestricted access.

Uvita Island forms part of the coastal view from Limón. Compare its outline from a secure public viewpoint. If considering a boat outing or landing, confirm current permission and arrangements instead of assuming independent access.

Limón Central Market
