Nosara Beach
Edit SpotAbout
nosara is a fun wave but the town is unsafe. Can't leave your car at the beach unless there is a guard there watching it. Got robbed by a guy named diego outside the blew dog last wednesday. The people with vacation homes are also being robbed. Sc... this place. let the criminals have it to themselves. there are way better breaks with a better vibe in the area.
Atmosphere:
Nice beach with a consistent wave. Many surf camps have opened here in recent years, so there are lots of beginners in the water. Expect pretty heavy crowds during dry season and June/July.
Additional Info:
Not much current but as with all beach breaks it may take some time to reach the line up.
