Just up the road from Nosara about 20km is the small town of San Juanillo and its clear blue harbored beach As winter approaches nice beach days will be fewer and farther between, so these next couple of months could be your last chance to cross the rivers and relax with a nice and generous Swiss lunch at San Juanillo Restaurant.

The drive there is along a stretch of route 160 that allows for periodic vistas of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. The route there goes through the town of Ostional, past beaches and rock breaks and through farm fields.
