What is the best area to stay in Ostional?
The best area to stay in Ostional is directly within the village of Ostional, particularly along the short stretch of road that parallels the beach.

This area is the heart of the village and provides immediate access to Ostional Wildlife Refuge and the beach, which is famous for its arribadas (mass sea turtle nesting events). The main road is unpaved, giving it a rustic, natural feel, and there are a few small eateries and guesthouses scattered along it. This location is superb for travelers who want to be close to the wildlife experience.

For travelers focused on wildlife observation, staying in Ostional village is ideal. You'll be within walking distance of the beach where the turtles nest, allowing for easy access to guided tours and the opportunity to witness this natural phenomenon.
When is the best time to go to Ostional?
