Visiting Nosara from Playa Flamingo

Nosara is a longer haul from Flamingo — a couple of hours-plus down the coast on partly unpaved roads — but it's one of Costa Rica's most distinctive beach towns: a wellness and surf community wrapped in nature reserves, with consistent waves at Playa Guiones that suit learners.

Realistically an overnight rather than a day trip from Flamingo. If it's on your route, this page has the bookable tours worth knowing about.
