CITY GUIDE
Nosara, Costa Rica

Located along the southwestern coast of the Guanacaste province in Costa Rica, Nosara is a community of around 6,000 people. It covers 134.92 square kilometres near the communities of Ostional, San Juanillo, Playa Garza, and Barco Quebrado.

The town is home to one of the oldest ex-pat communities in the area and has experienced a resurgence in popularity due to a number of yoga retreats and schools in and around the town. The ex-pat community is fairly large here, and both English and Spanish are spoken. Nosara is also known as one of the top surfing destinations in the world, as a nearby beach has waves that can be ridden for about 330 days out of the year.

The town and surrounding area have fewer paved roads than some of the nearby communities do, providing a somewhat more rustic and laidback feel to the community. Nosara is surrounded by dense forest, much of which is protected by law. Many ex-pats who live here tend to be health-conscious, so there are many businesses catering to a healthy lifestyle, such as yoga studios, organic restaurants and cafes, and wellness retreats.

Highway 160 is the only major roadway running through the community, and although the town has a small airport, most people travel to the area via the Daniel Oduber Quiros International Airport in Liberia.
