LOCATION

Nosara, Costa Rica is home base for the winter trips. The surf program is based in a luxurious beach house just a 5 minute walk away from Playa Guiones, a beautiful 5 kilometer (3.1 miles) long, white sand beach, located in the center of the Nicoya peninsulas Gold Coast. It is a very organized beach break with rights and lefts. The beach is great for beginners with long rolling waves, but can still be challenging for more advanced surfers with occasional fast hollow sections.

We have a main house, El Verano Eterno, that serves as base camp. Campers may share rooms at this location or request a private room for a little extra money. The house is conveniently located near the beach. Click here for more information about the house https://www.vrbo.com/586755. A general description and amenities of the house include:

• 5 bedrooms  • 4 Baths
