Nosara Airport (IATA: NOB) is a modest airstrip located just inland from the Pacific coast, providing essential air access to the Nosara region. Visitors arriving here step directly into the laid-back, eco-conscious atmosphere of Guanacaste. The airport handles daily flights from San José via Sansa and other regional carriers, making it a convenient alternative to long road trips. From the terminal, travelers can quickly reach Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and nearby wildlife refuges. The experience is efficient and low-key, reflecting the area's focus on nature and wellness.
