Just came back from a multi family vacation to Nosara and surfing was great at all levels. The staff at Harry's was extremely accommodating in scheduling lessons, changing out boards and just working with us overall. A particularly appreciative shout out to Justin who helped this 52 year old get up and surf with no prior experience!

I was part of a group of eight travelers who spend a week in Nosara. We rented Surf SUPs from Coconut Harry’s for the week, with all arrangements being made by email weeks in advance. Upon arrival, we were set up with exactly what we requested Buy a very helpful and friendly staff. After a day on the large swell and close out which were above some of our groups skill set, two of us traded in our SUP’s for surfboards. Michelle, who we were working with, made everything so easy! We swapped out boards quickly and efficiently. Michelle was very accommodating in offering to reimburse us for the difference in rental charge between SUPs and prune boards, which cost less. Everyone at the shop was friendly and so easy to work with. The equipment definitely had some wear and tear and next time I will bring my own paddle rather than using an aluminum version which weighs quite a bit more, but all in all we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this shop! Special call out to Michelle and Andres, who were exceptional in their customer service! If you get a chance to go to the main shop, definitely pick up a smoothie!

I’ve surfed a couple time but am still a beginner. Our surfer instructor Jairo was wonderful! Great time out. He was very helpful and I would highly recommend booking surf lessons through Coconut Harry’s. Set up was good. Easy walk to beach. We were in the surf and enjoying the waves within 10 minutes. Recommend reaching out to them through WhatsApp. I found that to be the best way to communicate with them.

If you surf in Nosara CR, it’s a no-brainer to connect with Renier Lopez for professional quality photos at a reasonable price. Jairo as your surf instructor and you have the complete package from Coconut Harrys Surf Shop. This crew is the best!

LOVE this place and the people who work there. I'm an above average surfer so I'm always looking for a quality board to rent that has rails and a strong fin to carve the wave. These guys went above and beyond during the Christmas/New Years rush to find me a brand new single fin egg shaped surfboard. My absolute favorite to ride. This was no small effort during the highest point of the holiday season. The location is perfect. Michelle, Anders, George and all of the staff make it such a pleasurable experience...from beginning to end. Highly recommend them.

I love Coconut Harry's! This place is so Rad! Amazing location, the best in Guiones as far as surf schools go. Super close to the Ocean. The Staff and instructors are great! Meesh, the Coconut harrys Photographer is amazing! My instructor Justin quickly elevated my game from beginner to a seasoned intermediate Surfer! I was catching rights and lefts and riding down the line beautifully! I even started to shuffle my feet around on the board to distribute my weight from front to back and vice versa. Invaluable coaching that will stick with me for life! Justin taught me how to read the Ocean similar to how a Golfer reads a Green. My ocean & wave knowledge went from zero to now very confident and knowledgeable. The surfing in Guiones is perfect almost everyday. Low tide, high tide, early ,late, windy, it doesn't matter the surf is always good in playa Guiones! Can't wait to come back! A few pics attached from Guiones and Tamarindo (tamarindo I surfed solo and worked on the things Justin taught me).
There were a few other Perks from Coconut Harry's that I ought not to mention (* free pics from Meesh on facebook*) 😊😊😊
And also, they are extremely flexible & generous with the board *rentals* when you sign up for lessons/coaching 😊 🏄 surf 🏄
Two Thumbs up for Coconut Harry's! An incredible experience!!!

Coconut Harry’s helped us have an amazing trip in Nosara. My girlfriend and I went down with no set agenda but a friend referred us to Coconut Harry’s if we were looking for things to do. Great decision.
They got us booked on an incredible snorkeling and sunset catamaran tour last minute which was hands down the best part of our trip. They also got us on a great kayak tour with an awesome guide. There’s plenty of surf shops around that can hook you up with tours and lessons but this place is the BEST.
Shoutout to Michelle and the team for helping us have a trip full of memories!

Amazing surfing lesson with Justin!! Went and booked a semi-private surfing lesson last minute with my girlfriend and they managed to squeeze us in even though they were busy. We both learned so much in the 90 minutes and both stood up on the first attempt (all credit to the instructor). Now can’t wait to surf again 🤙 PURA VIDA!

My husband and two daughters (ages 8 and 11) and I took three days of surf lessons with George and Abraham - we had THE BEST time. Michelle was super responsive in helping us arrange the lessons and George and Abraham were so helpful and so much fun. We all managed to stand up on our boards! Also, Guiones beach is gorgeous. Highly recommend Coconut Harrys!

If you want two bedrooms in Guiones Beach area of Nosara, best bet is the Living Hotel where you might get the suite. Otherwise, two bedroom condos for a week minimum are good at Villas las Palmas or Villas del Sol in Prlada Beach area of Nosara.
