It has been said that Samara is one of the safest and prettiest Beaches of Costa Rica. With its perfect long white sand beach and wonderful ocean, it is hard to find a better place, even in Costa Rica! The little town of Samara has now, without an ounce of a doubt, become a touristy destination, yet it has managed to keep its identity and culture. You will see cowboys, herds, fishing boats, fruit harvests, tree nurseries, organic farming and massive reforestation projects! Samara also has an incredible choice of hotels and restaurants to suit everyone’s needs, tastes and pockets! You will see endangered exotic animal species while there are thousands of howler monkeys, iguanas, agoutis, toucans and more. Welcome to a true tropical beach!

While Samara is one of the most popular Surfing Beaches of Costa Rica, swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving are also fantastic. You can even go windsurfing on the beach, or take a small boat and visit the lovely little Isla Chora, the little island you see from the beach, or explore the fascinating coral reef. There are mountain bikes for rent, or you can go horseback riding on the beach or in the forest nearby. You can go on one of the many boat Tours and visit the enchanting Carillo Beach, south of Samara.
