Explore Places & Experiences.

Nosara Skatepark

In Guiones North, the skatepark is a place to observe balance, movement and local skate culture. Watch first, follow posted rules and choose a supervised session suited to the rider’s ability. Confirm current access and use appropriate protective equipment.

Piedra Colorada

North of Montezuma, a small river meets the coast among colorful stones and woodland. Observe the meeting of fresh water and sea without moving or collecting rocks. Check access and recent rain locally; a natural pool is not automatically a suitable swimming spot.

Blue Market Guiones

The outdoor market on Guiones Main Street brings together crafts, fresh produce and prepared food. Ask a maker about their materials or learn the name of a local ingredient. Check the current event calendar before planning your visit.

Montezuma Turtle Conservation

ASVO’s Montezuma station connects coastal conservation with community work and sea-turtle protection. Learn about its current projects and how participation is arranged. Volunteering and educational visits require coordination; turtle sightings and hatchling releases are not guaranteed visitor events.

Curú Wildlife Refuge

Toward Paquera, Curú is a longer day outing with forest trails, mangroves and coastal habitat. Ask the refuge which routes are currently open and appropriate for your group. Some trails may close, and wildlife sightings depend on conditions.

Playa Pelada Tide Pools

At low tide, rocky sections of Pelada reveal small pools where coastal life may be visible. Observe from secure, dry footing with an adult. Leave animals untouched and watch the incoming tide; a tide pool is not automatically a safe swimming pool.

Isla Tortuga

A planned boat excursion into the Gulf of Nicoya can include Tortuga Island’s beach and nearby snorkeling areas. This is a longer outing, not a place within Santa Teresa town. Confirm the departure point, sea conditions, flotation equipment and participant requirements with the operator.

Río Montaña Mangroves

The Río Montaña is part of Nosara’s connected river and wetland landscape. A locally guided river outing can introduce the relationship between mangrove roots, tidal water and birdlife. Confirm the route and conditions with the guide and keep clear of wildlife.

Caring for Manuel Antonio’s Coast

Forest, beaches and the town all share the effects of visitor choices. Carry a reusable bottle, use designated paths and keep rubbish secured. Inside the national park, follow current rules on food and containers, and give every wild animal room to move.

Caring for the Santa Teresa Coast

Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeeper works with local communities on water quality and coastal stewardship around Santa Teresa and neighboring beaches. Ask about current organized opportunities to learn or help. Use local advice and recent information when planning time near creeks, river mouths and the sea.

David Kitson Public Library

Nosara’s community library offers books and a window into local learning and cultural exchange. It supports reading and educational programs for different ages. Ask staff about current visitor arrangements, children’s activities and language options before dropping in.
