Enjoy the wide, golden sands of Tamarindo Beach and watch as surfers take on the waves. Pop into one the beach bars to enjoy a cold drink, or check out what the vendors are peddling. If you’re interested in learning to surf, the beach provides easy going waves, perfect for beginners. Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for hire, but you might miss out on them unless you arrive early; consider bringing your own sun protection, as there's no natural shade at the beach. If you arrive at the right time, you can also enjoy a famous sunset from the shore.

  I had read mixed reviews on Tamarindo Beach but finally I liked my 5 day stay in this small town on the Pacific coast! It's sort of the Costa Rica California... This is a nice and warm place and the sunset beach is to be missed under any circumstances. There are many choices of restaurants and hotels, and there is something for all tastes and all budgets. It's a real place to disconnect, learn or practice the surf and relax! I recommend!
