A lovely light sand beach, Playa Guiones is among the best surfing destinations along the Guanacaste coastline on the Nicoya Peninsula. Backed by a lush jungle, the first couple of hundred meters of this beach are part of the Ostional Wildlife Refuge, while the beach area itself has received a ‘Banda Azul’ or Blue Flag of Ecology for being among the most clean, pristine and ecologically well-maintained beaches in the world.
Located close by to Playa Nosara, Playa Guiones is a sleepy beach town with the best surfing and snorkeling on Costa Rica’s central Pacific Coast. Very popular with surfers because of the consistent breaks found here, this beach also has some wonderful snorkeling opportunities. With a relaxed and laidback atmosphere, Playa Guiones is perfect for an older and more subdued crowd, who are looking for some much needed peace and quiet.
A little more expensive and upscale than some of the other places in the vicinity, most of the hotels, resorts, accommodations and restaurants in Playa Guiones are situated in the forest behind the beach area. The social scene here is relatively tranquil and most of the people who come here do so either to surf or have a peaceful vacation. A wonderful place to kickback, Playa Guiones is definitely worth the trip offering some stunning sunsets and breathtaking ocean views.
