Samara Beach

Lovely beach. Lots of families and kids learning to surf. Safe waves. If you want to walk the length of the beach check that the tide is medium to low, otherwise prepare to get wet. I mean, it is the beach though.

Cute little town and a beautiful beach. Came across a great Italian restaurant “Ahora Si”. Nice area to get away to.

Beautiful beach! Such a large beach that you will have no problem finding a spot away from people. So many little restaurants along the beach. Small park next to the police station has freshwater showers. If you need to escape the sun or heat there are quite a few trees that line the beach to set up under. Saw surfers and horses.

This is a great beech for the whole family. Easy parking, soft sand, and the water was nice and warm.

It’s in the top 3 best beaches of our trip in Guanacaste region. Playa Samara is a wide & long crescent beach that stretches for several kms. Fine sandy bottom beach & the waves are gentle most of the time…great for swimming for all ages. It’s perfect for surfing lessons or boogie-boarding. There are small villages along the beach with the town of Samara being the largest. Lots of beachfront restaurants, places for surf lessons, equipment rentals & souvenir stalls. There’s a good snorkeling spot in the tidal pools at the north end of the beach. During our stay we found Playa Samara fairly empty but it gets quite busy on weekends and holidays. It would be ideal if you can stay in Samara for a night or two. We stayed for a month and aside from our ventures outside of Samara, we fully enjoyed the town and its surroundings. It has complete amenities but still has a laid back atmosphere. At no time did we ever feel unsafe while exploring the area.

Nice beach. Calm. Great sand but a little bit packed (the sand). Not many people on the beach at all.

Amazing beach, tides were calm and excellent for learning to surf! We saw howling monkeys and iguanas nearby! Please respect the beach and leave no trace!

The water is really nice and you are able to swim . The water is warm . But there should be more sitting areas .bring a towel to sit on the floor . There are couple of stores and restaurants around the area .we stayed the resort near we tried to walk but it was unsafe the roads are to narrow and grass is on slant. Will recommend ask the resort to book a taxi for your travel there . It cost us $10 to get there .
