Learn more about Sámara

Waves lap gently against the crescent-shaped Samara Beach, where surf lessons transform beginners into confident riders by afternoon. Howler monkeys provide the morning soundtrack from nearby forests, their deep calls carrying across town. After sunset, join guided sea turtle nesting tours to witness ancient rituals on moonlit shores. Carrillo Beach offers a quieter alternative with fewer vendors but equally impressive sunsets. Sip fresh coconut water directly from the source while watching local fishermen return with the day's catch. For more adventure, boat tours reveal playful dolphins and vibrant coral reefs just offshore. The laid-back vibe extends to beachfront restaurants where tables are often placed right in the sand.
