7 days in Playa Samara Itinerary

A beach town with just enough development to be comfortable for families accustomed to the trappings of modern life, Playa Samara has the resorts you'd expect to find in such a scenic area, but they don't hinder the relaxing atmosphere.

Change things up with these side-trips from Playa Samara: Tamarindo (Papaya Con Leche, Tamarindo Beach, &more), Playa Guiones (in Nosara) and Playa Avellana (in Playa Avellanas). There's much more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Samara Beach, stroll through Playa Buena Vista, see Off-Road Tours, and trot along with a tour on horseback.
