Our Beach

Located on the northern pacific “sunshine” coast of Costa Rica, Nosara is an excellent showcase for the waves and an unparalleled location offering unique conditions for surfing for all levels. With broad and unobstructed western exposure to the Pacific Ocean, large tide swings, a sandy bottom and prevailing offshore winds, here you will be able to feel and experience the true spirit of surfing at walking distance from our hotel to one of the most friendly waves on the pacific coast of Costa Rica.

With 6 kilometers of unspoiled sand and ideal conditions for a variety of activities, this small town is a little slice of paradise in Guanacaste. Playa Guiones received Blue Flag under Costa Rica’s Blue Flag Ecological Program which awards beaches for its pristine, eco-friendly and well-maintained beaches.
