The catamaran slips away from Puerto Calero with the marina shrinking to a neat row of masts; salt air pushes at your back and the island’s low volcanic ridges sit like a dark spine on the horizon. Within an hour the water opens and the Papagayo coves appear—small beaches tucked beneath ochre cliffs where the sea dares you to jump in.
