Safe, walkable, and gentle-surfed, Sámara is a longtime favorite for families and retirees. Here’s a look at Sámara Costa Rica real estate on the Nicoya Peninsula.
Why Sámara
A calm, reef-protected bay, a real town with services, and a friendly mix of Ticos and expats — without the crowds of bigger beaches. Explore North Pacific / Guanacaste.
Homes, condos & lots
Beach bungalows, hillside homes with ocean views, and building lots inland. Browse homes and lots.
Prices
Value versus the Gold Coast: ocean-view homes often $300,000–$700,000; town homes and lots less.
Lifestyle
Walkable, laid-back, and family-friendly, with yoga, surf lessons, and a genuine community feel.
Getting there
About 4.5 hours from San José or a short hop from Liberia (LIR); a domestic airstrip serves nearby Nosara/Nicoya.
