White sand stretching approximately 3 miles in an almost perfect crescent shape may sound to good to be true, but in Nosara it is. This beautiful beach is surrounded with lush vegetation and lined with a few ranchitos (thatch roof huts) to shade you from the sun. Warm water and gentle waves mixing with long beach breaks; make this a perfect place for swimming, surfing, or just frolicking in the waves.

The naturally occurring tropical dry forest (one of the earth's rarest ecosystems) keeps wildlife in their natural environment year round.

The point to the south offers one a rare opportunity to walk to one of the world's few pink sand beaches. Here you will find tide pools perfect for snorkeling. These are protected by a small offshore barrier reef. Good shelling conditions exist throughout the year from here all the way to the point to the north.

Quality and consistency makes this beach THE spot for surfing in Costa Rica. Great beach break conditions, with multiple peaks both left and right. The place has become popular among traveling "Longboarders". Great surf can occur at any time during the year, however November through May will offer you the best chance of finding excellent conditions. As in California, the best time for surfing is early morning.
