OSTIONAL is the second largest nesting place in the world for olive ridley turtles. About 12 times a year you may see a vast flotilla of turtles massed shoulder-to-shoulder, waiting their turn to swarm ashore, dig a hole in the sand and lay their eggs. Then without a look behind they go back to sea. The arribada or synchronized turtles mass nesting are unique to Nosara. By the time it´s over, more than 150´000 turtles may have stormed this prodigal place and 15 million eggs may lie buried in the sand.
