About
Nosara
Nosara is located on the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica on the Nicoya
Peninsula in the Province of Guanacaste. Surrounded by lush tropical
rain forest, mountains, waterfalls, and rivers.
Despite the Nicoya peninsula being one of the last locations with
large areas of unpaved roads, Nosara is one of the oldest expatriate
communities in the country
Unlike most coastal tourist towns, Nosara lacks nearly any development
directly on the beach as much of it consists of the Ostional Wildlife
Refuge necessitated by the presence of breeding Olive Ridley and
Leatherback sea turtle populations.
Nosara is also a surfing destination and the location of a
world-renowned Yoga school. The official town center is located 6 km
inland from the beach. Within "Nosara town" is the market, pharmacy,
post office, churches, school, police station, David S. Kitson public
library and Red Cross clinic.
There are four main oceanfront communities, each named after their
respective beaches: Playa Nosara, Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and
Playa Ostional. These comprise the largest areas of foreign-owned
residences, tourist hotels and restaurants, centered around Guiones
and Pelada.
The "suburb" Esparanza de Nosara borders the Playa Guiones area,
sitting between its first two beach entrances to the south. Esparanza
hosts the Guiones area's largest market, a school and soccer
(football) field, and a few new housing developments, hotels, and
restaurants.
