About Nosara
Nosara is a tranquil beach community on the north pacific coast of Costa Rica in the Province of Guanacaste. Known for its pristine beaches and lush tropical forests, Nosara is a destination for many nature lovers, surfers, yoga enthusiasts and people looking for a simpler way of life. The community itself is comprised of people from all walks of life and who have come from all around the world to enjoy the rich Costa Rican culture.

The natural wonders of the area comprise a dry forest that provide habitat for many species of plants and animals. Howler monkeys, coatis, armadillos, raccoons and morpho butterflies can be seen daily in the dry forest located within the community surrounding. Wild cats are rarely spotted but if you are lucky you can have an encounter with a jaguarundi or caucel.

Nosara also forms part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge, a unique protected area that receives thousands of Olive Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys olivacea) every year during their massive nesting seasons known as “arribadas”. The best months to see “arribadas” are between July and December. During these months the number of nesting turtles may be in the range of hundreds of thousands, definitely one of nature's greatest phenomenons.

Light sand beaches, year round surf, rivers, hills, raw land and dirt roads make Nosara an amazing place. There are also many conveniences such as hotels, spectacular restaurants, supermarkets, hardware stores, medical clinics, and an airport with four flights per day to the capital of San Jose.
