Sightseeing
Playa Ostional
Costa Rica’s most famous turtle nesting beach!
Playa Guiones
Mellow warm water waves 365 days a year!
Very beautiful beach, worth a trip! Super fine soft sand, and millions of little hermit crabs! If you are lucky you’ll meet monkeys and pisote’s on the beach as well. Fun little barreling shore break as well. Usually no other surfers!

Traveler advice
Getting around
Book your tuk tuk or shuttle to Nosara!
If you haven’t booked a rental car, tuk tule are the way to get around town. It’s handy to have some numbers on hand to call: Iris Jiron TukTuk for short rides to the supermarket or La Luna +50685391974 WhatsApp

Customs and culture
Keep an eye out on valuables!!
Unfortunately living in paradise comes at a cost, there is theft in the area. When you go to the beach, make sure to leave valuables out of sight, just put your laptops under a pillow or in the safe. Don’t leave things open in your car, and don’t leave bags with cellphones unattended on the beach! Ask your neighbors to keep an eye out when you go for a swim.
Ways to save
The mini super is practical for small items
But take a tuk tuk to the Super Nosara or Rinde Mas if you are doing groceries for the whole week! They have a bigger selection of items and have better prices!!
