Nosara Costa Rica Travel Magnet

The Nicoya Peninsula is a large stretch of Pacific coastline in northwestern Costa Rica, shared by Guanacaste and Puntarenas provinces. Known for its dry tropical forests, rugged hills, and long sandy beaches, it enjoys a sunny climate for much of the year and is recognised as one of the world’s Blue Zones, where residents often live notably long and healthy lives. Traditional diets rich in beans, corn, and fresh produce, combined with active outdoor lifestyles and strong community ties, contribute to this longevity. Tourism thrives in beach towns such as Tamarindo, Nosara, Samara, and Montezuma, each offering a different vibe—from lively surf breaks and nightlife to yoga retreats and quiet coves. Visitors can surf, kayak through mangroves, hike wildlife refuges, and watch sea turtles nest in protected areas like Ostional. The peninsula’s mix of wellness culture, eco-adventure, and warm local hospitality makes it a quintessential Costa Rican escape.
