I absolutely loved that beach and I plan on coming back again! We decided to rent a small area on the beach for a few days and it was incredibly peaceful with not many people around. The ocean was absolutely stunning. Make sure to visit Rodrigo and see his amazing Efoil and other exciting projects he has in the works. You won't regret it! He's located right next to Pilo's bar. Pura Vida, my friend! Compared to Giones beach, there was much less traffic and I truly enjoyed my time there.

Garza Bay is a stunning beach that offers a serene and calm atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for swimming. Additionally, the beach is easily accessible, which is a great convenience for visitors. As a local of Nosara, I find it to be a heavenly escape from the hustle and bustle of Guiones.
