The Gilded Iguana

Nosara,

Overview

We haven't made it to this bar yet, but here is what we know

Nosara’s most iconic gathering place since the 1980s: a legendary surf hotel bar and restaurant on Playa Guiones that has been the post-surf hangout, community hub, and live music stage for decades. Handcrafted cocktails, locally sourced gourmet food, and a weekly calendar packed with live music, themed nights, and events. Steps from one of the world’s best surf breaks and located in one of the Earth’s five Blue Zones.

There are more like it in Costa Rica’s best beach bars.

We Haven’t Been Here Yet

The Beach Bar Bum hasn’t made it to The Gilded Iguana yet. Budget cuts, tragic. But there’s water, drinks, and zero shoe policy, so it’s on the list. We just need a brave soul to confirm it’s real, preferably with a cold drink in hand.
