LIVING AT NOSARA, COSTA RICA A surfer's heaven. A small town with good facilities, surrounded by world class surf breaks without crowds. The Nosara area is spread across several beaches (Nosara, Garza, Guiones, Pelada, and Ostional), and ocean view hills. It has a population of around 5.800: with many expats, both full-time and the ‘snowbirds’.. It is larger than nearby Samara. THE NOSARA COMMUNITY Nosara is very popular with expats, particularly Playa Guiones, to the extent that it can feel like you’re in a Californian village.The people here get actively involved in nature conservative and keeping the beach clear of rubbish. The community is family centered and is a great place to raise children. Everyone speaks English here, so you can get by without speaking Spanish at all. The children can learn Spanish in bi-lingual schools. THE BEACHES AT NOSARA The beach at Nosara is one of the longest beaches in the province of Guanacaste featuring mangroves, coral reefs and sand. The beaches here offer consistent waves at all stages of the tide, and offer good conditions for all ability levels. There are several surf schools. The Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, where Nosara is located, is proud to be one of only five Blue Zones in the world. This, and the vigilence of the community, make this a haven for nature in both the ocean bordered by pristine beaches and in the woodlands. Osteonal Beach to the north, is the world’s largest nesting site for the Olive Ridley Turtle. You can go there and observe them. As is true of all Guanacaste, the sunsets are spectacular. NOSARA'S AMENITIES There are many restaurants over 30 of them! and shops, including good organic food stores and an organic food market at the weekend. There are numerous yoga schools of high quality, including “Blue Spirit Yoga”, and the renowned “Nosara Yoga Institute”.

There are many activities for kids at Nosara: yoga for children, surf camps, horse riding, swimming lessons, ballet, supervised hiking, and more. As mentioned, there are many surf schools but there are also kayak and stand-up paddle tours are a great activity also, both up and down the beaches and mangroves, and inland up rivers. TYPES OF HOUSING AVAILABLE New development is restricted at Nosara. It is a wonderful environment and this has pushed up prices compared to some other places. That is likely to continue so it could be an excellent investment in the long term. For adventurous people that like a more spiritual community, this is the perfect place to spread your roots, if you can get into this hip place. Nosara is comprised of several barrios that each have their own distinct personality Playa Guiones Playa Guiones has several sections with different personalities. The “G Section” is more geared towards the short term visits of tourists and is more densely populated. South of that, the “K Section” is more residential. Playa Pelada Pelada properties are increasingly inhabited by full-time expats. Whereas there are some very good restaurants here, there are fewer businesses than in the touristy Guiones.residential, and propery prices are usually a little lower than in Guiones. Up on a hill, enjoying a bit more breeze, is the “A Section” Las Huacas and D Section Some of the most opulent homes in Nosara are in these two hilltop communities. They have large lots and splendid views. The Surrounding Hills In recent years, expats have been buying lots and property in the areas just a short drive outside of downtown Nosara. These are a mixture of full-time and seasonal residents. As they are not beach-side, they attract fewer short term renters. In these communities you will find generous lot sizes for the same price as a place with small garden in the downtown areas. To name a few: The Colony (Santa Marta), Bosque Verde (Nosara), Nosara Hills (Nosara), and Fina La Encantada (Esperanza); and a couple slightly further: Vista Royal (Garza); and Kalia (Ostional). IN CONCLUSIONNosara is a beautiful place to call "home". This small English speaking place has a laid back yet coherent community. Here you have a diversity of nature and world class surfing on your doorstep. There are long quiet beaches to walk and wonderful woodlands. The town has all essential facilities. Nosara is a great choice
