Named after the English explorer (or pirate, depending on who's side you're on) Sir Francis Drake, who used the area as a hideout and shelter in the 16th century, Drake Bay today is a calmer place, known as a location for eco-hotels and a gateway to the Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica's remote Osa Peninsula.
