Pura Vida - Journey to Costa Rica

February 13, 2026
Is there a spot in the world that has solidly captured your heart and soul? Maybe you stumbled upon a place that felt instantly familiar, as if you’d been there before, and you still think about how amazing it was. Or perhaps you found "your place" long ago, and now you return each year because you love its weather, way of life, people, and overall essence. Each trip is like coming home, and when you're not there... you're telling everyone you know all about it. For Wallaroo’s CEO & founder, Stephanie Carter, Nosara, Costa Rica is that place. A few years ago, Stephanie discovered this hidden gem and was so smitten she now returns whenever she can. In this edition of Wallaroo Wanderlust, Stephanie gives us an insider look at Nosara and will tell us why it's the perfect laid-back island paradise for surfers, yogis, or anyone wanting to get away from it all. So, get your suitcase out of storage and start shopping for hats and swimsuits, because when you're finished reading, you're probably going to want to book a winter getaway. Let’s hear from Stephanie on why Nosara is “her place” and could be yours, too. Nosara on the Map - Where, Why, and How to Get There Tucked along the Pacific Coast on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula, Nosara has become more than just a favorite getaway to me. It’s truly my home away from home. I love Nosara’s laid-back feel and the fact that it’s protected from development thanks to a 200-meter setback law that ensures buildings stay off the beach. The result? A stunning five-mile stretch of sandy shoreline that’s absolutely perfect for runs or walks, and an amazing place to enjoy gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Surfers from all over the world come to Nosara for its laid-back vibe and the fact that it has one of the most consistent surf breaks in the world. Nosara is also a mecca for yogis, with many studios found throughout. (Two of the most popular yoga spots include Blue Spirit Retreat Center and the Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort, a hotel featuring yoga as well as spin classes.) Costa Rica in Two Words: Pura Vida Spanish is the official language of Costa Rica, but many Costa Ricans speak English (especially in touristy areas), so if you don’t speak Spanish, you should be okay. However, if there’s one Spanish phrase to learn, it’s Pura Vida. Literally translated, Pura Vida means "pure life." But there’s more to it than that. The expression comes up in everyday conversations in Costa Rica and can mean a variety of things. It’s a way to say, "things are good." Pura Vida is also used in a variety of situations, such as hellos, goodbyes, and thank yous. Pura Vida is not just a phrase; it’s a feeling describing the good life that awaits you in Costa Rica. When to Visit While I can’t think of a bad time to visit Nosara, most choose to go during the dry season (December to April) when the weather is sunny, warm, and perfect for surfing, beach activities, and outdoor adventures. Sidenote: There are fewer visitors between June and September. If you don’t mind rain, consider visiting from August to November - the landscape is lush and green, prices are more affordable, and the area is quieter. Plus, surfers love the rainy season for the massive waves it produces. If you love wildlife, especially sea turtles, the rainy season also brings the arribada (mass nesting), where thousands of Olive Ridley turtles come ashore to lay eggs, usually 1–2 nights per month. September and October are considered the peak months for the largest, most spectacular arribadas. The arribadas often occur 3–4 days before the new moon. Packing for Nosara Your packing list should include typical beach vacation items: swimwear, lightweight, quick-drying clothes, comfortable shoes for walking, and a pair of sandals. Of course, bring proper eye protection, sunscreen, and a hat. (I’ve got a few suggestions in case you’re wondering.) In addition, insect repellent is a must, and don’t forget a light jacket in case it rains, a water bottle, and any gear you need for surfing, yoga, or outdoor adventures. Getting to Nosara Visitors can fly into Libería Airport (LIR) 3 hours away, or San José Airport (SJO) at 4 to 5 hours away, and then travel to Nosara via shuttle, car, or small local flights to Nosara Airport. Regardless of how you travel, you’ll be swept away by the lush greenery you see along the way. Where to Stay Nosara has a wide range of accommodation options, from boutique hotels to surf and yoga retreats to Airbnb’s. An excellent source for information on where to stay and other helpful facts is the tourist office website, Nosara.com. They can give you official information on Nosara and the surrounding area. Here are a few of my favorite places to stay... Tierra Magnifica: Located on Las Huacas Hill overlooking Nosara, Tierra Magnifica is a boutique hotel with an excellent restaurant for sunset cocktails and dinner. Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort: Hotel with a great juice bar, three yoga shalas, and daily yoga classes. The Gilded Iguana: Hotel and restaurant. Great location for people-watching and family meals. Now pack your bags and follow the sound of the waves as Stephanie shares the local spots, hidden gems, and everyday favorites that make Nosara, Costa Rica, a perfect destination any time of the year. Places to Visit Playa Guiones Beach: Located in a national reserve, its undeveloped coastlines are protected from buildings and infrastructure. The beach is about 4 miles long, and you can walk from one end to the other. Cautionary note: Swimming is great, but it can be dangerous because of rip tides. Pay attention to the flags on the beach and ensure you know the currents and wind before entering. Lagarta Lodge: Situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this boutique eco-lodge offers views of breathtaking sunsets, forests and hills. Nestled next to a nature reserve, Reserva Biologica, which is home to monkeys, sloths, tapirs, poison dart frogs, manatees, fish, dolphins and more than 400 bird species. Check out their restaurant, Chirribocca, for the incredible ocean vistas or enjoy a romantic dinner in their private wine cellar. Surfing Nosara, Costa Rica (specifically Playa Guiones), is a premier, world-renowned surf mecca. known for consistent swells from the Pacific Ocean that reliably deliver 2–6-foot waves about 320 days a year. Nosara is a favorite among experienced surfers & long-board enthusiasts, but it is also a fantastic place to learn to surf. Agua Tibia Surf School: Great instructors and they can take photos or video of you while surfing. Olas Verdes: Hotel and surf school with excellent instructors. They are very nice and can also organize boat tours if you want to go fishing or take a day boat trip. Workout/Yoga Nosara is quiet coastal village that has become a premier global destination for yoga, wellness and spiritual retreats. It is located on the Nicoya Peninsula and is one of just five "Blue Zones" in the world. These are regions where people statistically live the longest, healthiest lives. This local culture of longevity, healthy eating, and community naturally complements the yoga lifestyle. Here are a couple of our favorite places to practice: Bodhi Tree Yoga Resort: Three yoga shalas, and daily yoga classes. Also has a great juice bar! Nalu: Great yoga and fitness classes. Adventures Off Road Adventures with Jose and Anne: From their own words, “From beautiful beaches to exotic nature deep in the mountains, Nosara has an off-road adventure for everyone! Allow our experienced tour guides to take you through gravel and dirt roads, river crossings, mountain and jungle trails, natural waterfalls and the most iconic spots in the area.” Check out the following adventures you can go on with Jose, Anne, and their team: Coffee Farm ATV Tour - A 4-hour adventure including a tour of a coffee farm, picking organic veggies, and making lunch. Waterfall ATV Tours – 2–4-hour adventures where you can see three different beautiful waterfalls from the city to the jungle. Horseback Riding – a beautiful 2-hour horseback ride that takes you from the jungle to the beach. Miss Sky Canopy Tour - If you need an adrenaline boost, check out Miss Sky Canopy. They host the longest Canopy Tour in the world with 13 cables equaling over 11 km in length. Restaurants La Luna: Sunset viewings are a BIG ritual - everyone gathers on the beach or goes to a restaurant with a view for dinner. La Luna is also an excellent location for brunch. It sits right on Pelada Beach in a stunning outdoor setting. El Coyol Nosara: A 20-minute drive up a steep dirt road, but it's totally worth it. The food and views are amazing. If you don’t have a rental car, hiring a taxi to take you up there is worth it. Either way - it’s well worth the drive - be there for sunset.... it’s not to be missed! Olga's Beach Bar: Charming, authentic local restaurant on the beach with magical sunsets. Playa Pelada has been a part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge since 1984, so restaurants that are actually ON the beach in Nosara are a rare find. If you’re looking for the perfect spot to watch the fishing pangas come and go, check out Olga’s. A favorite with locals. Beach Dog Café: A cozy café, right off the main break of Playa Guiones. A favorite with local musicians, they host Open Mic Tuesday Nights and Live Music Saturdays Pacifico Azul: Incredible local seafood and the best avocado salsa on the planet. Standouts include fresh snapper, lobster, and ceviche. Olivia’s Pizza: Located right in the heart of North Guiones within the local craft brewery, Guiones Brewing Company. This is the perfect spot for drinks and thin crust oven-baked pizza La Brasa: Argentinian steak house serving exquisite grass-fed steaks and craft cocktails. A must-try for meat lovers. El Local at Garden Hills Hotel: A local gastropub featuring farm to table meals, incredible burgers & local craft beers and buffalo cauliflower to die for Note: It’s always a good idea to call ahead for reservations - some restaurants require reservations three days ahead of time during the busy season. Groceries and Other Fun Things Orgánico Nosara: Similar to a very small Whole Foods with a. fresh baked goods, organic juice, locally sourced produce & seafood, free-range meat, and organic daily staples. They have delicious Poke Bowls, Burrito Bowls & Salads, made to order from 10am–7:30pm. Supermarkets in North Guiones: Super Nosara and RindeMas Nosara offer general goods and produce. Discount Italian Store: Semi-upscale, sells wine, cheese, and cured meats, and authentic Italian pastas, olive oils, cookies and Panetone. Getting Around Nosara Golf Cart Rental: Limo Dan has all-electric golf carts for rent. Car Rental: Economy Rental Car in Playa Guiones can help if you need a car for a day or two. Why Nosara Has Captured My Heart As you may have noticed, I could go on for hours about Nosara, Costa Rica, and all the incredible things to do, see, eat, and experience there. But, like any place, the true magic is found in the people who live there. Yes, I return to Nosara several times a year to relax and restore… but I mainly return because the people make me feel at home. They’re warm, welcoming, and living examples of Pura Vida. And, whether your next trip takes you to Costa Rica or someplace else, remember… It’s a sunny life. Wear your hat.
