Known for its beautiful beaches, world-class surf and pristine natural environment, Nosara is a small coastal town along Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. The town has become a popular destination thanks to its laid-back and relaxed feel, with its main beach drawing surfers from far and wide in search of its famously consistent waves. If you favour a quieter atmosphere, however, look no further than Playa Pelada and Playa Nosara, two hidden gems in the area known for providing a more secluded experience. As well as its beaches, Nosara boasts a diverse ecosystem, with mangroves, tropical dry forests and wildlife (namely monkeys,
coatis and lots of birds). If you’d like to learn more about the local flora and fauna, a guided tour is just the ticket and can be woven into your itinerary. Whether you’re after a trip full of outdoor exploration or something a bit more laid-back, Nosara offers both in equal measure.
