What is it about Nosara?



Nosara is a stunning destination renowned for its breathtaking beaches, attracting surfers, yogis, families, and nature enthusiasts alike. With its serene atmosphere, rich natural beauty, and year-round consistent surf, Nosara fosters an inclusive multicultural community. Here, environmental sustainability is woven into daily life. Nestled in the Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara is one of the world’s five Blue Zones—areas celebrated for their inhabitants who often live beyond 100 years, thanks to the clean air and water, abundant fresh produce, active lifestyles, and strong community ties.

Nosara often goes by the name of its incredible beach, Playa Guiones. In fact, the beach town is affectionately referred to as Guiones South and Guiones North, depending on which side of the main street you are on. Guiones is a tourist-friendly area, offering all the modern comforts while retaining a laid-back jungle vibe. It’s particularly popular for its reliable surf, accommodating everyone from beginners to seasoned pros, along with diverse dining options, yoga studios, shops, and accommodations. Just to the north is Pelada, a quaint beach town perfect for swimming, blending local life with tourism. To the south is the small fishing village of Garza, the launch point for boat tours focused on fishing, whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling, and more. Nosara town, situated inland, provides a glimpse into authentic Costa Rican culture and cuisine.





REFUGE



The pristine beaches of Nosara—Guiones, Pelada, Garza, and Boca Nosara—are part of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, dedicated to protecting the turtles that nest at Ostional beach each month. This conservation effort prohibits construction along the beach’s edge, preserving the area’s lush flora and fauna and maintaining Nosara's status as a tropical paradise. The local developments are small-scale, ensuring you won’t encounter large hotels or crowded beaches. Many accommodations and eateries prioritize eco-friendliness and community support, making it the ideal spot to reconnect with nature and find tranquility.





EVERYDAY LIFE



Here are some essential details to enhance your experience in Nosara:

Seasons: From November to April is the high season, characterized by dry weather with minimal rainfall—perfect for enjoying all that Nosara has to offer. Prices, as well as the heat and dryness, tend to rise during this period. From May to August, it’s the low season, with increased rain, especially in the months of August, September, and October. While it may rain occasionally, the lush greenery during this season is enchanting.



Local Amenities: Nosara has one gas station located between Nosara town and Guiones, with another along the road to Sámara. There are two banks with ATMs—one in Guiones on the main road and another near the gas station. Non-Costa Ricans will need to present their passports for transactions. The local currency is the Colón, but U.S. dollars and credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas.
