Off The BEATEN PATH Beaches Up The Nicoya Penisula In Costa Rica! 🇨🇷

we got to find another way over to the beach so yeah there's a little river river here all the water's out there's been a lot of fires in the area so they've been having to use the water for the fires give you a little bit of a sneak peek not too much though because you want to watch the full video of where we're staying which will be next week's video and I'd just say this is one of the best sushi I've ever had I'm going to be completely honest it's amazing [Music] [Music] hey everyone welcome back to another video if you're new to our Channel Welcome to our Channel make sure you hit the subscribe button and the little bell icon to get notified when we come out new videos So today we're going to do a little road trip up the coast we've never actually gone up the coast from here up to Tamarindo so we thought we'd bring you along and show you what it's like yeah we're excited to do some beach hopping up the coastline and show you guys some amazing beaches that we've never been to before we've been to a lot of beaches in Costa Rica but not these ones so it's still nice and uh refreshing for us to see some different spots sometimes we've never been up past paa sanano before so it's going to be really nice to see some some different spots yeah exactly and there's we're going to stop for lunch on the way as well and then we're stopping at a really cool place to stay I'm not going to tell you what it is I'll give you a little sneak peek at the end of the video so make sure you watch all the way through so you can see a little glimpse of where we're staying we're going to do a separate unique stay video on that and then we're staying up in the area for a bit we're going to do a couple other walkthrough videos and stuff so stay tuned for those videos on the channel but yeah we're going to hit the road head up to nosara now and then there's a couple River Crossings on the way so hopefully they're not too deep right now it's been dry so we'll see and uh yeah running into any Crocs yeah exactly it's gonna be a bit of a r venture [Music] follow [Music] w follow [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all right so we're at the first Beach that we haven't been to up this way which is pla aou I don't know if we can get to the beach here can't get over there we got to find another way over to the beach so yeah there's a little river river here um so yeah we'll drive up and try to get to the beach a different way all right so let's try this again we drove down a little further back towards uh samur way and we found another entrance but yeah it's uh like a lot of beaches in Costa Rica very natural so it's not the easiest to get to the water looks really blue sand yeah it's black sand so it's hot we actually stopped at a hotel out here to see if they be interested in us making a video at their hotel to show you guys so yeah hopefully the marketing manager gets back to us and we can show you that place very windy as you can tell by my hair yeah it's uh really nice I'm going to show you guys it now a [Music] oh [Music] a [Music] n [Music] all right so now we're at paa Paya this one looks a lot nicer than the last one still like rougher waves but not as bad so I think you could actually swim a little bit in here obviously be cautious but yeah it's a nice little Cove here you can see from one end to the other there so yeah get some B- roll here for you guys and then on to the next one it's really stupid how people just leave garbage on the beach like this like beer bottles and chip bags [Music] w [Music] he [Music] oh [Music] [Music] we just got to well it says pla Mara but it also says paa Coco and there's another name further down for the beach down there we're actually going to go shoot some b-roll down there after we have lunch so yeah this looks like a nice surfing Beach looks like people are out surfing decent size waves but there's a place called Tiki Hut so we're going to have lunch there show you guys what it's like if you ever making this trip down here or staying in the area but yeah it's a this is a beautiful beach I mean all the beaches here are beautiful but I like this one there the the palm trees on that end which uh you'll see so we're a little disappointed unfortunately Tiki Hut is closed and we've been looking forward to going there during this trip uh they have really really great online reviews and uh yeah the menu looked really good and stuff but apparently and it's not the owner's fault obviously but uh all the water's out there's been a lot of fires in the area so they've been having to use the water for the fires so we told him next time we're in the area we'll come and he was super appreciated and upset he had to be closed but things happen yeah so now we'll go to I guess there's a soda up by the hardware store he said or something so we're going to go to the soda up there and eat there and uh yeah we're going to I'm going to get the Drone up over here first before we head up that way but uh show you show you this beach a bit more but yeah it looks really cool [Music] we [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the [Music] [Applause] this this so love [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] so all right so we ended up just driving all the way to pla Grande area and we're at Los Solas Brewing cuz they make beer sha was looking on all the maps trying to find a place to eat and there was like no service through there or anything so we're like hey let's just come here we go past it yeah like right right before we were here I got service on my phone and saw some pictures and stuff and the menu looked good so yeah we'll see what it's like let you guys know how it is if you're ever in the area IPA has arrived smooth it's good all right so we just finished eating here it's uh ideas are good but the execution isn't as good there's missing seasoning a little bit of salt on everything and the I had the spicy chicken burger it wasn't spicy at all so if uh whoever owns this place is watching this for whatever reason add some salt to your stuff and some to your chicken burger the fries were good though they're actually hand like proper homemade hand cut fries that were seasoned properly and you had the cheese curds that were like what was it it was a it it's a Costa Rican spin on cheese curds we've had actual real cheese curds before um and these weren't they were it's just like the Costa Rican cheese the traditional stuff here cut into squares and then uh lightly battered and deep fried they weren't bad but they're not a cheese curd so yeah the thing is with the Costa Rican cheese it's there's no salt in it at all either so it's like they're not there's no salt it has it does have a little bit cuz the Costa Rican cheese is kind of more dry so it has like a little bit of that like squeakiness like a cheese curd a little bit of the same texure but not quite but it was okay it was okay come here for fries and beer the deep fried pickles that Jaden ordered you guys saw in the the beer were so greasy like so oil they were just sitting in a puddle of oil and the batter like were was really dark it looked like they were overcooked but they had a lot of oil soaked into them and just really really greasy the batter was actually falling off they were so oily like oh oh well we tried it out let you guys know what it's like but we're always honest when we go places so yeah exactly we're not going to sugarcoat anything and say it was amazing and you guys come here and have a terrible experience and again it could be an off day maybe it's a different Cup today you don't know so so actually we're going to head to our accommodation now and we have to film that video and then we're going to hang out chill out and we're going to go to another place for dinner that looks really cool hopefully it's open we're finding a lot of places are closed it's a little slow this time of year for some reason so we'll try it out see if we can get there for dinner and show you guys what that place is like all right so we have arrived to where we are staying here in a grande I said I'd give you a little bit of a sneak peek not too much though because you want to watch the full video of where we're staying which will be next week's video but that's all you get it's a really cool spot
