One of the great sights of Nosara is the mangrove swamp, best enjoyed by boat. On our third day we went on a kayak tour of the swamp, and were treated to a wide variety of bird life. As a break from sitting in the kayak (much appreciated by Cara), we landed on the beach side of Nosara River and crossed the dunes to the ocean. There Cara had a lovely time building sand towers and watching them be washed away.
On learning that the combination of a mid-morning low tide and low river levels made crossing the Nosara River on foot possible, we decided to return soon to this secluded beach. The following two mornings we walked, ran, played and thoroughly enjoyed the beach. A handful other tourists made it across the river and the beach was also popular with Tico fisherman, using traditional throwing nets.
The fine black sand on the beach made for fun sand castle/tower construction.
Watching the waves wash over a castle was part of the fun.
Not deep enough to swim, but the gentle surf was fun to splash in.
The pelicans grace flying along the surf line amazed us.
Cara explored the beach from all angles.
Always finding interesting things to look at.
We enjoyed the complicated grain of this piece of driftwood.
The peace and beauty of Playa Nosara.
