Low Tide in the Pools of Playa Pelada
Check the tide table and visit the northern end of Playa Pelada at absolute low tide to immerse yourself in natural pools of warm sea rock as if they were natural private jacuzzis.
Surf at Dawn ('Dawn Patrol') in Screenplays
Enter the water at 5:45 AM at Playa Guiones: you will enjoy the cleanest and most orderly waves of the day under a gentle breeze with the sun rising over the jungle and the singing of the howler monkeys in the background.
The 'Pura Vida' Philosophy
'Pura Vida' is not just a greeting or farewell; It is an attitude towards life based on gratitude, calm, kindness and patience.
Strict Rules on the Ostional Turtle Tour
It is mandatory to enter Ostional beach accompanied by a local accredited guide from the Ostional Guides Association (AGLO), wearing dark clothing and without using photographic flash or white lights.
'Reef-Safe' Sunscreen
Only use biodegradable mineral sunscreens based on zinc oxide (without oxybenzone or octinoxate) to avoid damaging fragile corals and marine fauna when swimming.
Insect and Dust Repellent
Bring ecological mosquito repellent for walks along jungle trails at sunset and a scarf/buff to protect yourself from dust on dry roads if you travel by quad.
Rip Currents in Surfing
Playa Guiones has a soft sandy bottom but rip currents can form; If you are caught in a current, stay calm, do not swim against it and swim parallel to the shore until you leave the channel.
Be careful with belongings on the beach
Never leave cameras, cell phones, backpacks or purses unattended in the sand while surfing or swimming, nor leave valuables visible on quads or parked cars.
