Nosara is a known destination among surfers, yogis, families, and nature lovers for its impressive lush beaches, tranquility, natural beauty, and consistent waves year-round. It is located in the Nicoya Peninsula, considered one of the 5 Blue Zones of the world, areas known to have the highest concentration of people living healthily over 100 years. The locals here can live that long because of the good quality of the air and water, lots of fresh food all year long, their active lifestyle, and their deep sense of family.
Nosara is a community with many towns and beaches. Guiones is a town of travelers, visitors, and expats. You can find all the comforts you need but spread in a jungle setting. Traverse the Sandero Jungle paths and unpaved roads to find affluent hotels, yoga centers, restaurants, and shops without feeling like you are in a touristy area. Guiones is the most popular since it has consistent waves for beginners to professionals during the year.
Nosara’s uniquely beautiful beaches are all part of the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, protecting the turtles that come each month to Ostional Beach to nest their eggs. For this reason, it is forbidden to build on the border of the beach, which has cultivated the flora and fauna in the refuge and has kept Nosara a tropical paradise. The buildings surrounding the beaches are small-scale and well-appointed. You won’t find any big international hotels or beaches full of tourists and chairs, fast food restaurants, or paved roads.
Nosara is the perfect family getaway to get grounded and connect with nature and each other.
