Samara Nicoya Peninsula Costa Rica

http://TravelCostaRicaNOW.com Hey everyone! We spent a few days down in Samara which is located on the Nicoya Penisula. Samara is one BIG BEACH and definitely the VERY definition of a beach town. Taking in the sun and water adventures during the day and partying at night. Great restaurants, intimate little bars on the beach where you can share a cocktail and the sunset with that special someone, but also club-like party bars to drink and party until the wee-hours.
Playa Samara is a long-wide beach on a curved horseshoe-shape bay. Unlike many other beaches along the Pacific coast, the water is calm and great for swimming and other water adventures like snorkeling and fishing and it's even a great place to 'beginner surf'. Playa Samara is popular with the Ticos and can often get quite lively on the weekends and special holidays, but since the beach is so BIG, it all seems to work. The calm waters and steep cliffs on the far side of the bay make this a very seductive spot, and don't forget Playa Carrillo, 5 kms away, also a great little beach.

Great Video Thank You... Be there next week for my introduction to Costa Rica and it looks like the perfect place to start. Have Fishing Pole will travel, so why not to the sportfishing mecca. Some anxiety about Chepe just because of my nature to explore... your videos are very helpful to this fishing junkie gringo... Thank You

@ChewMeeMoore haha, Thanx. Yeah, I think just about every place in Costa Rica has changed BIG TIME... hopefully you'll get a chance to come back and see for yourself.....pura vida

[iCostaRica24]

Yeah,,I was thinking that's what you were saying. And I think we could have phrased that MUCH better, cause we didn't mean to imply that in any way, shape or form......
