Peninsula de Nicoya

The Nicoya Peninsula is one of Costa Rica's most secluded gems. From the hilly interior the mountains sweep down to the Pacific Ocean, creating some of the most beautiful and solitary beaches of Costa Rica.

Because of poor or non-existent roads, this tropical paradise has long been off the beaten track for travelers in Costa Rica. But roads and transportations are improving slowly, so tourism is becoming an important part of the economy. Thankfully, hotels and businesses have remained small and mostly privately owned, helping to preserve the relaxed and unhurried atmosphere of the peninsula. Travel here is still slow and it is best to resign yourself to a leisurely pace.

Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, on the western coast, is an undeveloped paradise for surfers, naturists, and beach bums. The locals share their beautiful environment with pride, and take care of it accordingly. Meander through the streets, pick a favorite beach and tell everyone you meet that it's the "playa más bonita del mundo," and you'll fit right in.
