The ocean at this beach is lovely, with crystal clear water perfect for swimming and relaxing. While it may not be the ideal spot for children or those seeking shade, the few huts along the beach provide a cozy respite from the sun. It's true that the surrounding area can be dusty, but the fresh sea breeze more than makes up for it. While it may not be considered a blue zone, the air is still invigorating and refreshing. Although some may feel that the area is overpriced, there's no denying that it's a popular destination for a reason. As a seasoned traveler, I can attest that there are certainly other places in the world that are equally beautiful and healthy, but they may come with a higher price tag. However, the best part is that these hidden gems are just a short distance away, waiting to be discovered. Overall, my experience at this beach was enjoyable and memorable, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and rejuven

This sandy stretch of land is a surfer's paradise, but don't worry if you're not a pro - beginners are welcome too! You can rent gear and get some lessons in Nosara, a charming town that's just a short stroll away. Keep your eyes peeled for howler monkeys while you're there! At low tide, this beach transforms into a vast expanse just waiting to be explored. There are tide pools to splash around in and rocks to scramble over on the right side of the beach. I can't vouch for the whole coastline, as it stretches on for miles and miles. Be warned, though, it can get pretty crowded when the tide rises and there's less sand to claim as your own. I visited during the Christmas week, which is peak season, so expect a bit of hustle and bustle. The most popular time of day? Sunset, of course.
