Costa Rica’s Sunset Joy, Captured Through a Dog’s Run on the Beach

A big thank you to one of our dedicated Tico Times readers, an expat living in Costa Rica, for sharing this beautiful moment captured on a Costa Rican beach. This photo, taken at sunset, shows a dog running freely along the shoreline, fully immersed in the joy of the moment.

The scene is a simple yet powerful reminder of the everyday beauty Costa Rica offers. With the sun setting over the Pacific, the warm golden light reflects on the sand, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere. In this quiet moment, you can almost hear the gentle waves lapping against the shore as the dog leaves its tracks in the wet sand.

For many expats and locals alike, Costa Rica’s beaches are places of relaxation and natural beauty, where both people and their pets can feel free. Scenes like this one show the country’s easy-going lifestyle and deep appreciation for nature, offering a sense of peace that’s easy to find here.

Our reader adds a heartfelt Sunday wish for fellow readers: “May your Sunday bring you as much happiness as this dog is experiencing in the surf. (OK, maybe half as much; it’s hard to compete with a dog’s happiness.)”

This photo serves as a reminder of the small but meaningful moments Costa Rica provides each day to us that live here, reminding us to slow down and savor the beauty of our surroundings. Thank you to our reader for sharing this slice of pura vida!
