Samara is located in the canton of Nicoya, in the province of Guanacaste. It is one of the most popular summer resorts on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica.
Activities to do
The sea in Samara is much calmer than in other places in Guanacaste like Nosara or Santa Teresa. In addition, there are many things to do and see: waterfalls, mountains, marine life and sunsets!

Although the sea is calmer than other regions, you can still surf. It is ideal for beginners in this sport, because the waves are small and relaxed. The best time to surf is during high tide, and even better if it is during sunset.
Paddle surfing

Stand up paddle surfing (SUP) is a sport that consists of standing on a board while carrying a single-bladed paddle to navigate the sea, lakes or rivers.
In Samara, you can practice this sport either in the mangroves of the region or in the sea. In either place, you will be able to enjoy a great experience surrounded by nature.
Snorkeling

Snorkeling is one of the best ways to enjoy the sea and get to know the marine life. Chora Island is a small island that is part of the reef that protects the coast of Samara, where the sea is quite calm. Here you can observe several species of colorful fish and turtles. To get there, you just have to paddle a kayak for 30 minutes.
