Tamarindo Beach Costa Rica: is among the most popular vacation destinations in Costa Rica, thanks to its pristine beaches with crystal clear blue waters, exquisite nature and stunning sunsets.

At Tamarindo beach besides surfing, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, jet skiing, kayaking, boogie boarding, turtle watching, horseback riding, sport fishing, scuba diving, golfing and ATV tours, you can also visit the nearby Diria National Wildlife Refuge, as well as the Las Baulas Marine National Park, where leatherback turtles come every year to nest and breed.

Tamarindo is the area’s most well developed tourist town with plenty of accommodations to suit every pocket, from luxurious beach-front hotel to hostels. With much to enjoy & even more to do, this multi-cultural community is the ideal place to have some fun in the sun!

It is important to keep in mind that Tamarindo beach has strong rip currents and barely submerged rocks, so be careful swimming here. Also the estuaries to the north and south are very dangerous to cross at medium to high tide.
