Just north of Nosara lies Playa Ostional, famous for its massive nestings of olive ridley sea turtles. This is a very underdeveloped beach village with only a few hotels, the best of which is Hotel Luna Azul ★ (tel. 2682-1400), which features beautiful individual bungalows and a great view of the ocean—although the beach is a good distance away. If you come to Ostional to surf, try the Ostional Turtle Lodge (tel. 8888-1865), a smattering of basic cabins right on the beach near the center of the village.
