San Lucas Island National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Isla San Lucas) is an island located off the Pacific shore of Costa Rica in the Gulf of Nicoya. It is part of the Puntarenas district[1] in the canton and province of the same name.
Formerly housing a brutal prison, now abandoned, the island was designated as a National Park in August 2020[2] by decree 9892[3] and managed under the Central Pacific Conservation Area.[4][5][6]
