Gulf of Nicoya

The Gulf of Nicoya (Spanish: Golfo de Nicoya) is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean.

It separates the Nicoya Peninsula from the mainland of Costa Rica, and encompasses a marine and coastal landscape of wetlands, rocky islands and cliffs.

The first Spanish landing in Nicaragua took place here in 1519.
