North Pacific National Parks
Our Pacific coastline in the northern part of the country is where you will find the most beautiful beaches ever. So, get ready for lots of sunny days, great surfing and awe-inspiring landscapes. When swimming in some of its calm bays you will get the feeling that all problems were left behind. Although this part of the country is the most visited, it is also one of the least populated ones.
This region offers some of the best and most easily accessible diving sites due to the abundance of marine life.
