The beaches of Nosara host one of Costa Rica's oldest expat communities. While the traditional village of Nosara is 6 km inland,
the majority of expats and hotels in Nosara are found on the beaches of Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada where much of the tourism is oriented towards surf, yoga and health.
The community of Nosara has always strived to harmonize development with nature conservation. Houses and hotels in Nosara are spread apart and tucked into lush tropical greenery. A maze of streets and pathways weaves through the forest and even in the center of Nosara you feel ensconced in a jungle with tall trees arching over the roads.
A large portion of the land in Nosara is protected forest and a moratorium on hunting animals stretches back for almost 30 years.
The beaches and estuary of the Rio Nosara form part of the Ostional Wildlife Reserve located a few kilometers north of Nosara. Therefore, apart from surfers and yoga fans, Nosara also attracts eco-tourists.
