"Playa Samara is the perfect long white sand beach with shallow, gentle waters."
The Key to Costa Rica
Samara has a superb coral reef and its own picturesque wooded island in the bay ~ Isla Chora. It's popular
with swimmers and windsurfers, and it's an ideal beach for your kids.
Samara is not only a charming beach resort, with a wide choice of friendly and attractive hotels,
restaurants, bars and discos, but, unlike other Pacific Ocean resorts, it is also a thriving fishing and
farming community.
There are cowboys and cattle drives, fishing boats returning at sunset, exotic fruit harvests, specialty and
organic farming, tree nurseries and reforestation projects and many other authentic and vital Sámara
activities.
There are unusual plant and animal species, ancient Indian sites, underwater caves and coastal and mountain
nature trails.
Guitar, Spanish, aerobic and dancing lessons and massages are available. And there is even a Sámara art
gallery with its own resident artist.
