    Nicoya Peninsula

    About Nicoya Peninsula

    The Nicoya Peninsula is one of our favorite regions in Costa Rica—think beachy towns, laid-back vibes, epic surf, and jungle adventures around every corner. Home to spots like Nosara, Santa Teresa, and Montezuma, it’s perfect if you want to ditch the big resort feel of Jaco or Tamarindo, but still have access to great food, fun tours, and all your travel creature comforts.

    Check out our guides below to help you plan the perfect trip to this sun-soaked corner of Costa Rica!
