"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.
