local beaches along the
coast and other destinations
Finca Las Brisas has some of the most beautiful
Costa Rica real estate for sale. Located on the Pacific Ocean
in the province of Guanacaste on the Rio Frio in the hills
above Playa Samara.
The province
of
Guanacaste covers most of Nicoya Peninsula
on Costa Rica's northwest coast. It has over 200 miles of
coastline with more that 70 different beaches. The following
are several of the beaches near Finca Las Brisas.
Note: all of the beaches are pretty close as the "crow
flies" but we are 5 kilometers up a windy mountain gravel road
so the actual time to the beach by driving is 20 to 30
minutes to the closest beaches. All driving estimates are
realistic and vary for the conditions of local roads. (We
have noticed that most of the hotels in the area
underestimate the driving times from the airport and local
beaches.)

"One of the safest and prettiest beaches in the country"
Lonely Planet
"Playa Samara is the perfect long white sand beach with
shallow, gentle waters." The Key to Costa Rica
This is a great beach for children to play in the surf, for
windsurfing, sea kayaking, horseback riding, and for first
time surfers. This is currently the closest beach to Las
Brisas until we build access to the Nosara side of the
property.
Some people claim the
reef on this beach keeps the sharks out of the surfing area
making it the safest beach along the coast.
Clearly we offer some of the most gorgeous
property for
sale in Costa Rica.

A
sportfishing beach, protected by a reef
line
offshore.
Garza, the fishing village has some bars, small native
restaurants and coconut palm trees. When we drive from Las
Brisas to Nosara we pass right through the beautiful area.
This town resembles a small
fishing village
that most
visitors dream of developing when they first see it - until
they discover that Costa Rica has protected the beaches.
What is currently there will stay, but there
will not be new
development on the beach. Costa Rica beaches will never
develop the way
costal areas have in most of the US.
Some of us like to stop and visit with Tom, a retired
counseling professor who runs a little bar there. (Perfect
guy to run a bar, right?)
The beach has as steep slope to the surf and the
waves come
crashing in. The last time we were there we sat out at the
tables in front and waves rolled in right up to our
chairs.
In the picture Benjamin is standing inches away and 10
meters out the water would be over his head and that wave
coming in is much larger than it appears. Great for boogie
boarding!
Local fishing charter boats are available for
day trips or
for just a few hours. |
