Just beyond the Harmony Hotel's banana trees, a can't miss coconut palm marks the arrival at Playa Guiones, one of the best surf spots in Nosara and Guanacaste.

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.

The water like the air is an inviting 80ish degrees all year round. Pizotes, monkeys, ospreys and armadillos thrive in the rich protected green zone that buffers Playa Guiones from anything manmade.
