    Montezuma. Montezuma is located on the Nicoyan Peninsula's southeastern end, at the end of an unpaved road that winds down forested hillsides. The shoreline itself is largely sandy beach, as fine as any on the peninsula, interspersed with rocky outcroppings. Many come to see the popular Montezuma water falls, about a 20 minute walk from downtown. A commercial area, little more than a hundred meters of shops, hotels and restaurants, has sprung up to cater to visitors. As Montezuma can be reached from [wiki=209401feb754ffc5d6c1c7418de64e58]San José[/wiki] in a matter of 4-5 hours, weekends often see crowded conditions. Montezuma has a reputation as somewhat of a "hippie" venue, with all that implies.

    * [wiki=02e935180df4d3a21ff482375194f092]Mal País[/wiki]. A long stretch of beach near the southeast end of the Nicoyan Peninsula that is quite popular with surfers. A string of low-budget hotels and restaurants can be found along the beach road going north to Santa Teresa, which has grown a lot recently, now more food and lodging options than Montezuma.

    * Samara. One of the few beach towns that has paved roads all the way to San Jose. It's a bit nicer and more expensive than many other beach towns, but smaller and less touristy than Tamarindo.

    * Santa Teresa. Santa Teresa is not much different from Mal Pais. It offers great surfing and affordable hostels and hotels. Santa Teresa also has the best sunsets in the Nicoya Peninsula.

  • filter_dramaStay safe
    •Be alert - you might always being watched.
    •Never, really NEVER, leave valuables unattended in your vehicle.
    A break-in is almost guaranteed at Rio Tarcoles while you watch the crocodiles.
    •Keep your hotel room's doors and windows locked and store valuables in a safe box.
    •In a restaurant or bar keep contact with your bag.
    Also take care that nobody has the opportunity to put something into your drink.
    •In crowds, buses, or on lively streets wear your backpack on the chest, not on the back.
    Always be suspect if anyone pushes against you.
    •On buses most thefts happen inside the bus. Never put your bags in the overhead bins.
    •Women in particular should not walk alone on the street or beach at night.
    •With a rental car be alert if you have a flat tire and people show up to help you.
    They might have put a nail under your tire previously and will rob you while "fixing" the car.
