Introducing Nosara - Your Next Freediving Destination
by FII - October 29th
Nosara is located on the North Pacific Coast of the Nicoya Peninsula in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. National Geographic named Nosara as one of the top surf towns in the world, boasting surf breaks suitable for all levels. But its what lies below that is catching the eye of freedivers worldwide.
Many consider it to be the perfect small Costa Rican beach town, tucked away in the jungle and surrounded by nature. You can enjoy a horseback ride on a pristine beach, a wildlife-filled river tour, freedive to her depths, or simply relax at the end of the day with the locals while watching one of the most spectacular sunsets in the world. There's a good reason Costa Rica has been named the happiest country on earth.
With 400+ feet of depth only a short boat ride from the beach, visibility often exceeding 100 feet, and warm water year-round (generally 80+ degrees), Nosara is an excellent destination for freedive training. Spearos don’t need to feel left out - only a couple of miles from shore are some reefs that are teeming with life. Large snapper, grouper, and amberjack are regularly taken there. Pelagics including yellow fin tuna and wahoo are not uncommon, either. Rest assured that the local spearos and guides practice and encourage sustainable spearfishing practices, as should you.
If you’re looking for a freediving and spearfishing destination that has a lot more to offer than your typical tourist trap, Nosara should be near the top of your list.
