Nicoya Peninsula

The Southern Nicoya Peninsula is lined with palm studded beaches which have incredible awe-inspiring scenery and showcase some of the best surf in the world. Surfers from all avenues of the globe congregate to this area to take advantage of consistent breaks, clean water, and laid back vibe of towns like Samara and Nosara.

The Location of the Nicoya Peninsula is the Northwest peninsula of Costa Rica. Montezuma is approximately a 3 hour drive from Liberia, 4 1/2 hours from Manuel Antonio, 4 1/2 hours from Monteverde, 5 hours from San Jose and 5 1/2 hours from the La Fortuna Arenal Volcano Region. Please keep in mind that all drive times are approximate and depend on road conditions, as well as Costa Rica driving experience.
