What people say

Diana Blinkhorn
"Tamarindo Beach is one of our favorites in all of Costa Rica. Tamarindo lives by the motto, “Surf, eat & party.” There’s so much energy here in this town that is so much fun for families and it is very rich in culture. Tamarindo is one of the top places to surf in the region and if you’re into it, you could just watch all day. They also have a long list of great shops and lively restaurants along the beach and in the town. The beaches are long and there are many activities for everyone. This is a must see, especially for your kids."
"Tamarindo or " Tamagringo " is a hot-spot tourist destination but definitely not a large coastal city. This city's has many backpackers as well as nomads who now call this little town their home. Prices here are average when it comes to eating out, airbnbs, and rentals. The whole city is walkable as it runs roughly 15 blocks from start to finish. Here is a contact for a trusted driver in Tamarindo +506 6384 8669 "
"Good sunsets, perfect beach for surf beginners, it is full of surf schools and surf camps, as well as being a vibrant beach full of people, but that, in my opinion, it does not feel overcrowded. Believe it or not I really enjoyed the crowd and the atmosphere in Tamarindo's beach. "
