Playa Guiones, Nosara | Informal Campsite

January 29th, 2023 by peggyann.boucher

Nous sommes restés ici sans problème deux nuits pour surfer à la magnifique playa Guiones. Surf facile toute la journée et plus difficile matin et soir. Au coucher de soleil c'est parfait. Très tranquille la nuit nous étions seuls. Le jour il y a beaucoup de gens et ils arrivent tôt.

We stayed here without problem two nights to surf the beautiful playa guiones. Easy surf all day and more difficult morning and evening. At sunset it's perfect. Very quiet at night we were alone. The day there are many people and they arrive early.

Stayed here for one night. It gets very crowded here in the am and the sunset because beach parking and at night we were up all night because motorcycles kept driving in and out but it felt safe and a good spot if you need a night to sleep

The name of the beach is not Playa Galardonada (which mean beach with an award for cleanliness) but Playa Guiones.
We live there, so we know ;0)

Spent two nights and two and a half days here.
Payed the volunteer parking guy tips for him to keep an eye on the van while we were in town or at the beach. Felt safe enough at night, a few people came through late but in general after dark you have the place to yourself.

The volunteer parking guy asked if we had break resistant glass, which we didn't. He advised we'd be better off here if we did, so take that into account!

We spend the day here and it’s nice and shaded. We moved for spending the night to the other side, next to the other entrance to the beach, by “Norte nosara” hotel. Closer to the centre and more “crowded” (wasn’t really a big amount of ppl) we felt it was going to be safer in case we left for a few hours. We stayed 3 nights, super safe, people are really nice and the beach is great.

Slept here two nights. Tips based security during the day. Nothing at night. Felt comfortable leaving car during the day given the security and the heavy traffic. Wouldn’t leave it alone at night but felt very safe sleeping here.

We spent a night here. It was super chill. The police came by twice in the night and I spoke to them the first time. They said it was ok to stay there and that it was safe. The only thing to worry about is petty theft. It was a fairly nice spot right on the beach. no amenities though but also close to town.

Beach parking lot. empties out after sunset, some tourist kids came down to make a little noise around 9pm, but otherwise quiet. a few vehicles came and went during the night, possibly police patrols as they make rounds during the day. try to camp away from the trash area as some racoons or other animals came at night. howler monkeys will greet you with their song in the morning. Free.

some people set up tents on the beach, unknown if this is officially allowed
