Overview

Location

Nosara has two breathtaking beaches:Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada. Both have light colored sand, warm clear water, and are protected by a wildlife refuge so the jungle comes right down to the sand.

Playa Pelada is protected by some reefs and is a favorite spot for families.

Del Mar Surf Camp is based at Playa Guiones, a beautiful white sandy beach that is surrounded with lush vegetation and ranked among the best surf spots on the Nicoya Peninsula so that advanced surfers can also enjoy the benefits of the beautiful scenery with options for various local spots for the surf trips.

The town of Nosara with all its amenities is closeby...

The Surf

With its smooth sand beaches, Playa Guiones is ideal for different levels. The waves break left and right with multiple peaks allowing for great surfing at any time during the year. However, November through May will offer you the best chance of finding excellent conditions.

Surf lessons are provided twice a day ...
Beginners...:
You will be taught: water safety, paddling techniques, catching waves, wave selection, and surfing etiquette. Most importantly, you will experience the feeling of riding along a wave that's powered purely by nature.
Intermediates and Advanced Surfers...:
Surfing Playa Guiones and Playa Pelada could turn into a fabulous experience. During the dry season, the North Pacific has sensational offshore winds, which produces clean and perfect peaks. They will take you to several more challenging surf breaks too, like Ostional and Marbella, which are epic spots. From beach to reef breaks, there are a variety of waves that will send you home with a big smile!

Highlights of the a.m. tour include snorkeling offshore reefs and spotting sea turtles, or choose the afternoon tour for a beautiful and rejuvenating sunset on the water. Discover why stand up paddling has quickly become the most compelling trend in ocean adventures... it's like walking on water. All trips will be documented with photos and videos.

Your first lesson will cover:
- Safety & basic ocean awareness (incl wave forecasting and simple hydrophysics)
- Moving between the prone, kneeling, and stand-up positions
- How to accelerate, decelerate and turn using the paddle in a kneeling and stand up position
- And how to spot an olive ridley turtle (really, it's a skill)

Kayak Tour
The Rio Nosara and the Rio Montana are the two largest rivers in Nosara, and where they converge you will find a tremendous amount of natural beauty. For nature lovers and those who like to kayak, this is quite simply the best tour in Nosara. Explore the wildlife rich Rio Nosara through the eyes of our birding expert and lead kayak guide, Felipe Lopez. Kayak alongside great blue herons, anhingas, roseate spoonbills, and maybe even a few crocodiles. Then weave through mangrove tunnels just as wide as your boat, enjoying the exquisite sounds of the jungle. Cap it off with an ice-cold watermelon or sunset cerveza at the Boca. Like any tour with Experience Nosara, your trip will be documented with photos and videos.
