Nicoya Travel Guide
Costa Rica
Nicoya is a town of 15,313 people in Costa Rica, serving as a local centre on the Nicoya Peninsula. It is inland rather than a beach town, so visitors should plan separately for coastal trips.
The city is served by Nicoya Airport (NCT). There are no notable named beaches within 40 kilometres of Nicoya, so the nearest coastal visits require travelling beyond that area.
