HOW YOU CAN HELP
The Surfing Nosara Foundation needs the basic school supplies and classroom material. Wish List > >
The NCA Beach and Refuge Protection Fund encourages everyone to work at keeping our beaches and their environs clean every day. Bags for the collection of trash are available each Guiones Beach entrance on the first Sunday of every month at 7 a.m. to work together on beach clean-up. Due in large part to these efforts Playa Guiones has earned Costa Rica's prestigious Bandera Azul Ecologica that identifies the beaches that meet the highest standard of beach cleanliness, sea water quality, potable water, wastewater treatment, environmental education, security and manageability.
The Surfing Nosara Foundation can use your help for their many school renovation projects.
The Nosara Animal Care is in great need of surgical equipment for spaying and neutering. They also need pet food, pet carriers, leashes, collars, and shampoo
