Cabo Blanco Biological Reserve, established in 1963, is the only government protected area created before the inception of the park service in 1970 that has survived to this day.
   
Cabo Blanco island, which lies 1,6 km. is the most visible landmark The reserve occupies the southernmost tip of the Nicoya peninsula and protects the largest tract of an extremely important example of mixed evergreen and deciduous moist tropical forest in the area.
   
The place is home to many rare and threatened species, including curassows, crested guan, brocket deer and jaguarundi, along with some more common species like howler monkeys, raccoons and kinkajous. There are excellent tide pools along the coast, and Isla Cabo Blanco is a very important seabird-breeding site. Cabo Blanco Island
