Playa Guiones

Just outside the Harmony’s back door! This beach is a 6 kilometer expanse of white sand that stretches between Punta Pelada and Punta Guiones. It is the best surf spot in Nosara, offering consistent waves year round with long left and right beach breaks. Like at most surfing beaches, there are occasional riptides, swimmers should be cautious.

Playa Pelada

At the cliff on the north end of Playa Guiones is the rocky Playa Pelada, where an offshore barrier reef protects a bay and its moored boats. Towards the southern end of the bay, a blowhole in the rocks forms a natural shower. The spray is best during the transition of the tides.

Playa Nosara

Past Playa Pelada, across the river mouth lies the black sand Playa Nosara. The most remote of local beaches, it is backed by mangroves and ends at Playa Ostional. The waves are some of the biggest in Costa Rica, and swimming here is not advisable.
