Nosara and Nicoya, Costa Rica

Beautiful Playa Pelada of Nosara.

My friend Melissa and I spent the first four nights of our trip in Costa Rica in the lovely town of Nosara, which is located on the Nicoya Peninsula (also referred to as Guanacaste Province). While planning the trip, I had debated spending our time in a larger town, such as Tamarindo. However, we both wanted to experience a more easy-going and less touristy locale, so Nosara seemed to fit the bill perfectly. The only drawback was that we would have to drive over dirt roads in order to reach the town, but that seemed like part of the draw and adventure!
