El eje montañoso central del país produce áreas bajas hacia el Caribe norte y el Pacífico, originadas por acumulación de materiales sedimentarios. Las más extensas son las llanuras del Norte y el Caribe, surcadas por ríos largos y caudalosos que forman meandros. Toman distintos nombres según las zonas: Guatusos, San Carlos, Sarapiquí, Tortuguero, Santa Clara, Pacuare, Matina y Estrella, además de los valles de Sixaola y Talamanca. La llanura costera del Caribe tiene poca altitud y está parcialmente cubierta de selvas tropicales. Sus suelos se usan en plantaciones de banano y cacao, ganadería de carne y leche. El canal de Tortuguero, de 112 km de largo, comunica Moín con la frontera con Nicaragua. En el Pacífico norte, la llanura más grande, conocida como la pampa, se ubica en Guanacaste, donde alcanza 75 km de anchura. En el Pacífico central la llanura se estrecha por la presencia de la fila Brunqueña, y vuelve a ensancharse hasta 50 km en el Pacífico sur. La pampa guanacasteca se extiende desde la meseta de Santa Rosa hasta el golfo de Nicoya, y está conformada por planicies de aluviones y mantos de cenizas volcánicas. La franja central posee dos terrazas marinas, interrumpidas por algunos cerros no mayores de 100 m de altitud. El valle de Parrita se extiende hasta punta Uvita y está formado por material sedimentario y volcánico, procedente de la cordillera de Talamanca. El Pacífico sur posee una llanura peninsular en Osa, además de los valles de Diquís y Coto Brus, formados por materiales marinos, fluviales y volcánicos. Los terrenos del Pacífico son propicios para la agricultura, poseen mayor infraestructura turística y en sus costas se desarrolla la mayoría de la actividad pesquera del país.
