  "connection_tips": "Nosara Airport (NOB) works best when it is treated as the first half of a beach-town arrival, not as the whole transport solution. The domestic flight from the Central Valley saves a long overland drive into the Nicoya Peninsula, but once you land the real connection question is how you are getting to Guiones, Pelada, Nosara town, or a retreat property on rougher local roads. That road segment should be planned before departure, especially if luggage or surf gear is involved.\n\nThe small-aircraft reality matters too. Weight limits are strict, rain can disrupt schedules, and the open-air regional terminal is not designed to absorb much chaos if a traveler arrives overloaded or without a pickup. Shared shuttles and private transfers are the most reliable options from the airport, while local tuk-tuks become more useful after you are already in the Nosara area.\n\nUse NOB as a time-saving domestic gateway with a light-baggage, pre-arranged-ground-transport mindset. If the itinerary depends on a retreat check-in, surf camp, or same-day onward move along the peninsula, protect the road leg and the weather margin just as much as the flight. Nosara is easy to love, but it is still a small Costa Rican coastal airport where the landside transfer and baggage discipline matter more than anything inside the terminal.",
