About Nosara

Nosara is a peaceful coastal town on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, famous for its unspoiled beaches, surfing, and yoga. Unlike more crowded tourist spots, Nosara maintains a serene, natural vibe with strict building regulations to protect its environment. Surrounded by lush jungles, it's a haven for wildlife like howler monkeys and exotic birds. Playa Guiones, the main beach, is known for excellent surf, and the town offers eco-friendly tourism, wellness centers, and a vibrant expat community. The locals live by the "pura vida" philosophy, embracing simplicity, relaxation, and a deep connection with nature.
