## Spots in Guanacaste

- [Ostional](https://yosurf.app/spot/ostional): Guanacaste; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Playa Ostional offers fun, well-shaped walls without a big crowd, making it great for intermediates and longboarders. It prefers NW swell to fire up the longer rights that break off one of the rock outcrops dividing this long beach.
- [Playa Nosara](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-nosara): Guanacaste; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; A thin ribbon of rock separates Ostional from Playa Nosara, a long crescent of black sand that hosts the many surf schools and beginners drawn to the area. From knee- to head-high, these peaks stay manageable and not too powerful.
- [Playa Marbella](https://yosurf.app/spot/playa-marbella): Guanacaste; Beach break; levels beginner, intermediate, advanced; Playa Marbella's short beach holds picture-perfect, spinning peaks over scattered rocks and black sand. Lefts off the south-end point work at high tide and stay smaller, while the north-end beachbreaks like low tide and pull in the SW swell.
