Playa Sámara - Be Inspired
A palm-lined beach dubbed “The Black Hole of Happiness” by Lonely Planet, Sámara is a hip tourist destination that visitors never want to leave. With its small town vibe and Blue Flag beach, Sámara has retained its authentic Costa Rican culture while welcoming an impressive variety of immigrants and visitors from all over the world.
The rich mix of cultures, amenities, and natural beauty means this cozy seaside village has something for everyone! Discover shops, restaurants serving Tico and international cuisine, and bars with live music - or simply seek solitude in nature.
West along the bay at Cangrejal, a reef attracts stingrays and tropical fish. At the other end of Sámara Bay, the pink sand and rocky coast of the Chora Island wildlife reserve shelters marine birds. Seven other unspoiled beaches are just minutes away!
