Learn more about Tamarindo

Catch perfect waves on Tamarindo Beach where surfers of all levels ride alongside locals who've mastered these Pacific swells for generations. After conquering the ocean, watch leatherback turtles nest at nearby Marino Las Baulas National Park during their seasonal migration. The beachfront promenade buzzes with open-air restaurants serving fresh ceviche and tropical cocktails as the sun sets. Book a catamaran cruise to spot dolphins playing in the golden afternoon light. Beyond surfing, try zip-lining through the rainforest canopy or horseback riding along Grande Beach's pristine shoreline. Despite its popularity, quiet corners still exist – ask about Playa Langosta for a more secluded stretch of sand away from the main tourist flow.
