Nosara, from Playa Flamingo
Nosara is a longer haul from Flamingo, roughly two and a half hours down the coast on partly unpaved roads, but it is one of Costa Rica’s most distinctive beach towns: a wellness and surf community threaded through jungle behind Playa Guiones, whose long, forgiving waves suit learners.
Treat it as an overnight stop on a longer route rather than a day trip. If it is on your itinerary, the surf lessons and nature tours below are the bookable core.
