Playa Samara, is a pretty beach on a long, horseshoe-shaped bay. The water here is excellent for swimming, as the offshore island and rocky headlands break up most of surf.
Playa Nosara actually refers to several beaches that are mostly deserted. The village of Nosara is located several miles from the beach, and the land near the beach has turned into a large spread-out resort community.
 
ESSENCE OF THE AREA

For the independent nature lovers, Nosara-Samara Beaches are long white sandy beaches. Samara is a charming rustic and picturesque resort town with fishing and farming community at sunset you can see the fishing boats returning home, with sunny weather and a bit of tropical greenery. a couple hotels are right in town and others are tucked away 5 minute walk to the beach.

Nosara has none of the hotels-piled-on-top-of-hotels feeling, almost all the beaches around town are deserted and the land near the beach is a residential community, the hotels are hidden among the profusion of trees making Nosara one of the greenest spots on the Nicoya Peninsula.
