Since Nosara is on the Pacific Ocean, life in the area focuses a great deal on the fantastic beaches.
There are ideal surfing conditions year-round and surfing lessons and rental boards are widely available.

Our friendly staff can also arrange horseback riding along our beach, deep-water fishing, and visits to the Ostional turtle refuge, to observe the massive arrivals and hatching of thousands of turtles along the beach.

For the more adventurous, there are canopy tours that offer thrilling views of the Costa Rican jungle canopy, or cave expeditions in the Barra Honda National Park. For more tranquil exploits there is bird watching on Boca Nosara, River Kayaking, or the visit of an organic coffee plantation in the lush green hills of the Nicoya Peninsula. And, of course, there are miles upon miles of soft, white sand beaches for long walks and gorgeous sunsets. There are a variety of restaurants in the area that offer foods that range from local Tica cuisine to Italian, French, or Thai – all of it made with fresh, local and organic ingredients when available.
