Location is very important. We are nestled in the quiet, quaint town of Nosara. You won't be trampled by hoards of tourists. There are approximately 500 Ticos and around 200 emigrants from America and Europe living in the vicinity. You are truly in the jungle, and you'll realize it when you awaken in the morning to the Howler monkeys stretching their vocal chords in the distance.

he reason Nosara is so special is due to the Ostional Wild Life Refuge that stretches down the Playa Guines beach. This reserve has preserved the beach from being built up with hotels and houses right on the beach like other destinations in Costa Rica.

Safari Surf School is approximately 30 miles off the main paved road. That helps keep traffic down while enjoying all the necessary amenities. Telephones, hot water and electricity are the norm. There's a doctor in town as well as a large hospital in Nicoya, just 60 minutes away. What makes Safari Surf School so special? You are close to waterfalls and Ostional, the Turtle Beach. Here, everything slows down so you can unwind, relax and enjoy the lifestyle while you learn to surf. There is cultural diversity here and likewise, an abundance of ethnically influenced eateries: French, German, Italian and American to balance the local fare. The peaceful serenity of Safari Surf School's beach is approximately four miles long and excellent for a great a.m. jog, shell-hunting, football, soccer, Frisbee, or just a long relaxing walk to take in the jungle scenery.
