Nosara, located on the Nicoya peninsula within one of the five 'Blue Zones' of longevity on the planet, is a coastal paradise where the tropical jungle merges directly with virgin beaches of the Pacific. Famous for the consistency of its year-round waves at Playa Guiones, its prestigious international yoga and wellness centers, and the mass nesting of olive ridley turtles at the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge, Nosara is a global model of sustainability, healthy living and 'Pura Vida'.

Tips for Gastronomy

The Traditional 'Casado' in a Soda

Visit authentic local sodas in Nosara Pueblo or Pelada (like Soda Rosita or Soda El Angel) for a generous 'casado' lunch with fresh fish, ripe plantain and salad for just €5-7.

Cold Pipe Water

Hydrate after a surf session by purchasing a fresh green coconut ('pipacol') from local vendors at the beach entrance; It is the best natural isotonic.

Dinners with Sunset in Playa Pelada

Book a table in advance at the legendary La Luna restaurant in Playa Pelada to dine on fresh seafood with your feet in the sand as the sun sets on the horizon.
