Playas (Beaches) de Nosara is a rare dry tropical rain forest, surrounded by mountains and rivers; and is located on the Pacific coast of the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste. Whether it is due to the consistent surfing waves or the tranqulidad, it is not unusual for visitors to choose to not leave and instead spend their entire vacations enjoying the beaches, restaurants & bars of Playa Guiones & Playa Pelada.

The region of Nosara, one of Costa Rica's best protected regions, has seen more than two-thirds of its beaches designated wildlife reserves, which translates into the cleanest, most unspoiled beaches for you, and best of all, very limited development. Come discover Costa Rica 's best secret and see why others have quietly returned time and again to its breathtaking beauty.

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.

There are two large grocery stores, Super Nosara & Super La Paloma. in the town of Nosara, approximately 4 kilometers from the beach area. Another, Super Dos Lorenas, is located in Esperanza. We have two mini-supers in the beach area: Super Mini in Playa Guiones and Pancho's in Playa Pelada.

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).

Playa Guiones has over 3 miles of white sand beach, with lush natural forest along its shores. It is known for its good, consistent surfing all year. Surfing is for the experienced due to the rocks. Purchase fresh fish from the local fishing fleet here. About half way down the beach there are tidal pools for snorkeling during low tide or just hanging out. There is an easy path that connect Guiones & Pelada by just a minute's walk. 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.
