Nosara, Beach district in Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica
The district stretches across 134 square kilometers of coastal territory, featuring multiple beaches including Guiones, Pelada, and Garza along the Pacific Ocean.
Established on January 26, 1988, through Acuerdo 40, Nosara evolved from a cattle farming region into an international destination for nature enthusiasts.
The district name originates from a Chorotega princess, preserving the indigenous heritage of the Nicoya Peninsula through local traditions and stories.
Nosara Airport connects to major cities via Sansa Airlines, while local transportation relies on motorcycles, ATVs, and golf carts due to unpaved roads.
The Ostional Wildlife Refuge protects breeding populations of olive ridley and leatherback sea turtles, contributing to marine conservation efforts.
