Nosara

From Wikitravel

Jump to: navigation, search

Nosara is a city in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. This town has access to several great beaches and retains "Blue Flag" status as an environmentally clean area.

[edit] Get in

The easiest way in is via a flight to the Liberia Airport and then renting a (4 wheel drive) car, or taxi to Nosara. Eventually the roads turn to gravel on the way to the beach, and there is one point where you cross a river (minus that bridge thingy).

[edit] Get around

Once in Nosara you really don't need a car to get around, just use the beach as a handrail between places.

[edit][add listing] Do

  • MissSky Canapoy tours offers a two hour, 8 point zip-line course. Eventually the course is supposed to terminate in a bar in 'downtown' Nosara. As of April 2008 the course was still under construction.
  • Surf. Playa Guiones sports 2-6 ft waves, but getting past the rough stuff can be a lesson in humility. There are several places to rent boards. The cheapest option is to talk to the blond American at the Bar Tucan. He's given a $10/day deal in the past for 9 ft boards to folks he likes.
  • Swim. Playa Pelaga is a much better beach for swimming than the others (no deadly rip tide, no silt from the river).

[edit][add listing] Buy

  • The Pot Guys will hound some members of your group to buy their pots, which are pretty, but they are, well, pots.
  • There's a small touristy street up from the Playa Guiones blue flag on the beach.

[edit][add listing] Eat

  • The Guilded Iguana is the cheapest place near the hotels for a bite to eat and a beer, and it's a landmark in the area.
  • Olga's in Playa Pelada is a great location right on the beach and decent food.
  • Casa Tucan and Casa Romantica have great food.
  • Rosie's is a good option for cheap and local food, they serve Arroz con Pollo, Casados and Tortillas

[edit][add listing] Drink

  • Most restaurants offer drinks as well. Olga's get's loud after dark

[edit][add listing] Sleep

  • Casa Romantica offers air conditioned rooms right on the beach and a great pool.
