which dock in Puerto Limon

[piper]

We are on the 11/9 sailing of the Zuiderdam. In Puerto Limon, does the ship dock near town and where there is shopping very close to the dock?

 

Thanks

If you look on Google Maps, you can clearly see the docks. It is a fairly short walk. But can't answer on shopping.

Puerto Limon Finger pier, usually Berth #3. The other pier is for commercial traffic

Thanks, Copper - not sure, but if this is the dock that the Zuiderdam uses, it is close to the town/market

Yes, it should! We used it with Amsterdam this January. If not, I owe you a drink ;)

Not only should you dock directly 'in town' but the market is very close and an easy walk. They have amazing wooden pieces there - check out the little wooden birds and nesting boxes that are made from about 6 different woods that CR is famous for exporting

We will also be on that sailing and are kicking around the idea of private excursion that includes a canal float, and a few other highlights. Check out our roll call:)

Thanks for the tip about the carvings, TakeUsAway!

There is really not much to do in Limon, if you don't take a tour.

 

There is a tented area with souvenirs for sale. Also, those charming little wood items that "Costa Rica is famous for exporting" are made in China.

 

Limon is not indicative of Costa Rica. It is a dirty port town.
