Playa Garza & Barco Quebrado

Located between the beach towns of Nosara and Samara (and approximately six miles from well known beach of Playa Guiones) is the quaint little fishing village of Playa Garza. Plaza Garza can be best described as a white sand oasis off the beaten track.  Considered the least touristy of all of the beaches between Samara and Nosara, Playa Garza is the perfect getaway from the hustle bustle of commercialism and tourism. In fact, Garza has the endearing reputation of being a village that has more cows than people. Boats are anchored off the shores ready for local fisherman to whisk you away to sea, to help you catch your own lunch, and to allow you to enjoy an incredible experience floating in the blue waters of the Gold Coast’s Pacific Ocean. 

Playa Barco Quebrado is located just south of Playa Garza and consists of beautiful white/light gray sand beaches. Both Playa Garza and Playa Barco Quebrado offer prime real estate between the beach of Nosara and Samara, and without the Nosara and Samara real estate price tag. For those looking for affordable alternatives to live in or invest in Costa Rica’s Gold Coast, Playa Garza and Playa Barco Quebrado have much to offer.
