CNN: 11 Places to go in 2014 
Playas de Nosara, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica: Officially approved beaches

Well, we already knew Nosara is one of the world's best surfing towns, but if you're the type that likes awards and official stamps of approval before buying your vacation, the beaches in Nosara in Costa Rica just winked at you.

They're likely to become popular in 2014, thanks to the recent award of a Blue Flag -- an international certification awarded to beaches that offer top quality and environmentally friendly experiences like sea turtle watching.

Alvin Rosenbaum, an expert in tourism and senior visiting scholar at George Washington University's International Institute of Tourism Studies, says: "Its pristine beaches are responsible for the introduction of an array of new activities for families with children, ranging from toddlers' programs to educational and volunteer programs for older children.

"Nosara prides itself on its beaches and wildlife refuges and is now one of the most environmentally-aware communities in Latin America."
