Is Costa Rica in the Caribbean?

Question

I know its in Central America but is it somehow in the caribbean? Because for example if someone asked you where in the caribbean would you go, would Costa Rica be a valid answer?

Answer 1

Costa Rica is located on the Central American Isthmus. It is bound by the Pacific Ocean to the southwest and west, Nicaragua to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the northeast and Panama to the southeast. It has a series of volcanic ridges that make up its backbone, although topographically it can be divided into three zones. 1.The central highlands which consist of two upland basins, the Cartago to the east and San Jose to the west which are separated by low volcanic hills. 2. The Pacific coastal zone which consists of the Palmar Lowland Complex, the Guanacaste Plain, the Cordillera de Guanacaste, the Tempisque River Valley and the peninsulas of Burica, Osa and Nicoya. 3. The Atlantic coastal zone which is a low swampy and heavily forested plain.

Answer 2

Costa Rica has the Caribbean Sea to the right and the Pacific to the left. So I would say yes.
