As a next-door neighbor to the Ostional Wildlife Refuge, Nosara enjoys protection from over-development and that’s just the way locals like it. Their reward is a pristine, natural place to live and thrive for people and hundreds of native species.

And of course, those sun worshippers won’t be disappointed with Nosara’s endless sandy coastline where relaxation is king.

In the evening, join others on the beach in front of a bonfire and watch sea turtles nesting. Up-close encounters with these amazing creatures are a popular activity with locals and tourists alike.
