Discover Nosara's Best Beaches
Costa Rica is world-renowned for its stunning beaches, diverse wildlife, and vibrant outdoor lifestyle. For those seeking a tropical paradise where surfing, nature, and luxury living coexist, The Sanctuary Estate in Nosara is perfectly situated to provide easy access to some of the country's best beaches. Whether you're a seasoned surfer, a nature enthusiast, or simply looking for a peaceful spot to relax by the water, the nearby beaches of Guiones, Ostional, and others will surely exceed your expectations.
Surfing Paradise: Guiones and Ostional Beaches
One of the major attractions of The Sanctuary Estate is its proximity to two of Costa Rica's most famous surfing beaches—Guiones and Ostional. Both beaches offer world-class waves and both are located just a short 12-minute drive from the estate.
Best beach sunsets are in Nosara. They are truly magnificent and only a few minutes drive from the Sanctuary Estate.
1. Playa Guiones
Playa Guiones is a popular surf destination for surfers of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner just starting to catch your first waves or an experienced surfer looking for consistent conditions, Guiones has something for everyone. Its wide, sandy beach offers plenty of space to spread out, and the gentle, long-breaking waves are perfect for learners and intermediate surfers.
In addition to its stellar surfing, Guiones boasts an inviting atmosphere, where beachgoers can enjoy the vibrant Nosara community, beachfront yoga classes, and casual dining options. The laid-back vibe combined with the stunning sunsets makes Guiones a perfect all-day beach destination for families and surfers alike.
2. Playa Ostional
For more experienced surfers, Playa Ostional offers a more technical challenge. Known for its powerful and fast-breaking waves, Ostional is ideal for advanced surfers seeking an adrenaline-pumping experience. The beach’s dramatic black sand creates a striking contrast with the blue waters, making it one of the most visually captivating spots along Costa Rica’s coastline.
Ostional is also famous for its wildlife, as it is home to the largest nesting site in Costa Rica for Olive Ridley turtles. During certain times of the year, thousands of turtles come ashore to lay their eggs in an awe-inspiring natural spectacle called the Arribada. This rare event makes Playa Ostional not only a surfer's paradise but also a destination for nature lovers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Explore More Beautiful Beaches Near The Sanctuary Estate
In addition to Guiones and Ostional, several other beaches near The Sanctuary Estate offer unique qualities and experiences. Each beach is an adventure, with something new to discover around every corner.
3. Playa San Juanillo (20 minutes away)
Located just 20 minutes from The Sanctuary Estate, Playa San Juanillo is a hidden gem often described as one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Known for its calm turquoise waters, the beach is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, or simply relaxing on its white sandy shores. The small fishing village nearby adds a charming local touch, and the beach’s twin coves, separated by a rocky outcrop, offer stunning views and peaceful seclusion.
Whether you’re looking for a quiet day away from the crowds or a scenic spot to enjoy a picnic, San Juanillo is the ideal choice.
4. Playa Marbella (40 minutes away)
A bit further from the estate, about 40 minutes’ drive, Playa Marbella is another fantastic beach for surfing enthusiasts. With fewer crowds and powerful waves, Marbella is favored by more advanced surfers seeking a more remote and wild surfing experience. The area is less developed than Guiones and Ostional, giving it a rugged, untouched vibe that appeals to those looking for an off-the-beaten-path adventure.
Marbella’s laid-back atmosphere and consistent waves make it a top pick for those wanting to experience Costa Rica’s raw, natural beauty.
5. Playa Negra (75 minutes away)
For a longer day trip, Playa Negra—located 75 minutes from The Sanctuary Estate—is well worth the visit. Famous for its consistent surf breaks and volcanic black sand, Playa Negra draws surfers from around the world. The reef break here produces fast, hollow waves that attract advanced surfers, while the beach itself offers a relaxed atmosphere with a few local restaurants and surf shops scattered nearby.
Though farther from the estate, Playa Negra is a great destination for those looking to explore different surf conditions and enjoy a full day of adventure.
