Playa Guiones

Nosara, Costa Rica

🌀Strong rips

Playa Guiones is Nosara's main event—seven kilometers of consistent beach break peaks that have transformed this remote corner of Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula into a world-renowned surf and yoga destination. The wave is endlessly forgiving, with soft walls perfect for longboarding and learning, yet capable of punchy peaks when larger swells arrive. The community that has grown around these waves blends wellness culture with surf stoke in a way that defines modern tropical surf travel. Consistent, warm, beautiful, and welcoming—Guiones delivers exactly what it promises.
