About

Uvita Island, or Isla Uvita (Spanish: "little grape island"), officially Isla Quiribrí, is a small 0.8-square-kilometre (0.3-square-mile) island 885 metres (2,904 feet) offshore of the port at Limón on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. The island is 420 metres (1,380 feet) long from north to south and 315 metres (1,033 feet) across at its widest, northwest to southeast. It is currently uninhabited, but there is at least one structure on the island, and a small dock. It is possible to visit the island by renting a boat and a driver at one of the fishing docks on the Cieneguita River.
