Here’s a look at Playas de Nosara (Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada & Playa Nosara) from above & also from the ground. The waves are at Main Beach in front of the lifeguard tower, & the main street intersection of Ruta 160 & Calle Modelo at Coconut Harry’s Surf, Food, Music & Drinks & Organico Bakery
Thanks to Luis & Marco from Nosara Civic Association for coming onto the Nosara Podcast for a high season 2026 update. We cover all kinds of topics in this episode from the court decision about park lands in Nosara, the Pelada evictions & other Nosara Gossip Machine stuff to the Nosara Corridor & all kinds of other positives & everything in between. It’s a super candid conversation & I appreciate them for coming on camera.
Nosara is a small, protective type of town & there are all kinds of opinions. I appreciate those who will come on camera and speak much more than the gossip minded or social media warriors who stir up controversy but are not solution oriented.
Welcome to a very special episode of the Nosara Podcast with Matt & Joellen from El Chivo. In case you didn’t already know, El Chivo is kind of the ‘Cheers’ for Nosara… Reality is Matt & Joellen have been staples in Nosara’s community for over 2 decades.
We’re going back in time to discuss their journey, operating several restaurants way back in day before making the big move to Pelada to create today’s El Chivo.
After we reminisce about Nosara of the past we discuss pros & cons of today’s Nosara & their plan to invite the community to help secure El Chivo’s future.
We celebrate the lives & memories of our friends who have passed away, plus all kinds of subjects from Nosara likes & dislikes, their 3 favorite restaurants besides their own, opinions about dogs on the beach & much much more.
I hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane & glimpse into the future with Matt & Joellen.
