This beach house in Nosara is near 7 others which are less than one-minute walk from each other and yet are totally private. Planning a wedding, family reunion, a corporate retreat or just have a lot of friends?
It is possible to combine these houses to fit your needs. Most have air conditioned bedrooms, lush landscaping and a ranchito for hammocks or outdoor dining. This costa rica beach rental has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. It sleeps 6 people with 1 double & 2 single beds plus queen futon. 3-minute walk to Harbor Reef and Playa Guiones.
The Playas Guiones and Pelada are part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge which protects the Oliver Ridley turtles, who come in hordes to lay their eggs. This means that the first 200 meters of the beach is protected from development, as can be seen on Guiones. The Refuge consists of 8 miles of beach, 3 miles of ocean, and includes Playas Guiones, Pelada, Nosara and Ostional (south to north).
The pueblo of Nosara sits just north of the Rio Nosara, 4 kilometers from the beaches and is characterized by the centrally located soccer field, school, churches, groceries, restaurants and bars. The short drive to town is worth the trip.
Playa Guiones has over 3 miles of white sand beach, with lush natural forest along its shores. It is part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge and is protected from construction in the 200 meter zone.
It is known for its good, consistent surfing all year. About half way down the beach there are tidal pools for snorkeling during low tide or just hanging out.
Playa Pelada is a shorter, more intimate beach and has shaded areas ideal for watching the blowhole. There are bat caves around the point on the north end, accessible at low tide. Surfing is for the experienced due to the rocks. Purchase fresh fish from the local fishing fleet here. There is an easy path that connects Guiones & Pelada by just a minute's walk.
Playa Nosara is not an easy place to get to, but well worth the effort. The beach starts at the river mouth, and is the most remote of the beaches, with access only by foot or horse. One has to walk across the river mouth, best at low tide, to get to this black sand beach. You will see the local fishermen using old fishing techniques at the river mouth.
