Tourists and locals alike typically refer to this area as “Nosara” but the distinct neighborhoods of the area are quite different from one another.   Nosara is composed of the local Tico town and the beach communities of Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones.  Playa Garza and Playa Ostional are just a stone’s throw away and are growing to become an integral part of the community. No matter which direction you go, the adventurous jungle roads lead to a gem around every turn.
