Activites to do while you are here

Surfing
Famous around the world for its consistency and year 'round pristine warm waters, Nosara has become a popular surfing destination. Kilometers of beach break, with a number of peaks insure that the crowds are never a problem. This is the perfect longboard/shortboard wave with plenty of medium size (playful overhead to exciting double overhead) surf. Perhaps the most consistent spot on the coast, Nosara delivers waves 95+ percent of the time, and often while the rest of the coast is flat, Nosara is still pushing through some fun sets. A number of nearby hotels and house rentals serve as the perfect headquarters for extended surf sessions. The surf is good to excellent throughout the year.

Yoga
Nosara has a world famous Yoga education center dedicated to professional training and advanced career development for teachers and practitioners in the field of Yoga and Bodywork. Perched on a knoll overlooking the white sandy beaches of the Pacific, the Nosara Yoga Institute is surrounded by a natural wildlife preserve.

Eating
There are a number of small, low key restaurants and bars in the area. Varying in price and cuisine the food is generally incredibly good with lots of variety. There is a full service super market in Nosara if you'd rather cook at home.

Sportsfishing

International tournaments are held in the Pacific coast throughout the year, with a number of world records held by local and visiting fishermen. Beach fishing is enjoyed by some of the locals while boat trips can be arranged out of the town of Garza six miles away.

Snorkeling
The beaches in the Nosara area are known for their pristine waters, tide pools, offshore reefs, even a cargo ship sunken over fifty years ago! There are a number of nearby places so be sure to bring your snorkeling gear… if you don't have any, you can rent it

Turtle Watching
Ostional 12 miles to the North is world famous for it's Turtles. You can watch the Olive Riddley sea turtles laying their eggs on the beach's black sand. About once a month, you can witness an "arribada" when hundreds of turtles (and depending on the season thousands of turtles!) come onto the beach at the same night to lay their eggs. You might also see the baby turtles hatching. This is a good surf break as well depending on the tide and wind.
