Tivives Protected Zone
Tivives sits inside a protected landscape: the Tivives Protected Zone, established on June 2, 1986, covers just under 25 square kilometers under SINAC's Central Pacific Conservation Area — which is why the beach community stays small. The Jesús María River drains into the Pacific here, ending in the Tivives wetland with its mangrove and estuarine system.

The mangrove that feeds the gulf
The Tivives wetland holds a variety of mangrove species, including red mangrove, and works as a critical breeding ground for marine life — the artisanal fishing communities of the Gulf of Nicoya depend on stocks that start their lives here. What you are looking at from the beach is working habitat, not scenery.
