HIGHLIGHTS

We LOVED our relaxing week in Nosara, and were so grateful our friends invited us join them for the week.

Our highlights from the trip were spending time with our friends, sunset surfing, and beautiful candle-lit dinners in the stunning rain forest.

Our schedule consisted of:

  • Waking up early, and throwing surf boards on top of the golf cart for a quick ride down to the beach…surfing (or trying to) for an hour or two, and then stopping for breakfast at a cute café, or heading back to the house to eat breakfast.

  • Checking emails, playing games, reading, or doing a little window shopping in town.

  • Heading to the pool before lunch and an afternoon nap.

  • Checking emails, playing games, reading, or prepping for dinner (if cooking in).

  • Surf Session #2 + watching the sun set at the beach

  • Heading home to clean up before dinner at the house or in one of MANY wonderful, farm-to-table type restaurants within walking distance or a short golf cart ride away.

NOTES

We are so happy to have seen it in 2018 because since then, it has experienced significant growth in tourism.

Thankfully, the government had already protected the bay/beach area to avoid construction too close to the water, and hopefully those regulations stay in place to keep the ocean and beaches as pristine as they were when we saw them.

WHY WE PICKED THIS LOCATION

For Spring Break 2018, some friends invited us to join them at their beautiful house in Nosara for the week.
