Now we're talkn!! I had a blast on this beach and I didn't have to lift a finger, everything came to me on my rented beach chair 10.000 collones. I had such an amazing time, food, booze, fresh coconut juice in it's shell for 1,000 collones!! Beer was 1,500 collones. Empanadas were 1,000 collones. Everything was cheap, there's vendors walkn around all day but they're not pushy and you can juss sit back and enjoy. Get there early for parking as it fills up around noon, also the tide is low in the early AM but it's high around 3pm leaving lil beach left. Avoid the touristy restaurants, eat local!! Good beach for surfing, there's board rentals across the street and lessons offered on the beach.

Nice beach, easy waves during the late morning for beginners and friendly locals. Lots of good options for food, surf lessons, boogie board rentals and tours. This is a tourist town making it expensive, particularly for Costa Rica. This is a safe and family friendly area - great for vacation. Though, if you want a quiet beach, this isn’t it.

Amazing beach in the pacific coast of Costa Rica! You can get a nice place with umbrella and chairs for us$20. You can order beer, and a lot of different drinks. Food offer is not the best. You can purchase a surf class; this beach is very friendly for surf begginers! You can park in the street if you come early (before 10 am), if´s not, there´s private parking. Sunsets are really beautiful!!!!

Tamarindo Beach is an absolute paradise and a melting pot of people from all over the world. Everything is within walking distance , there is dining for every type of taste bud. The beach is beautiful and the locals are welcoming. Tamarindo is a great base for all excursions water and land.

First, the beach experience. Sand is not top quality. Water is beautiful, waves generally small to mid arriving consistently. I got stung by a LOT of jellyfish larvae. Tourists/surfers abound, but everyone seemed nice and friendly. Very nice pickleball courts. High level of play. Expensive mixed drinks about town with too little booze- order beer, wine or champagne. Beautiful sunsets at the beach. A club called the Crazy Monkey at the north end of town played loud obnoxious music until 4a.m. every Friday night. Book a place toward the south of town.

That's what I call a beach. You can walk for hours, lay on a sunbed, go for some horse riding or get on a board and enjoy the waves. The vendors can be quite annoying, though. I stayed in Tamarindo for a week and it rained every single day but I still enjoyed it. Loads of little shops and eateries offering all kinds of products so spenders paradise, too.

Excellent for jogging or lengthy treks. Surfing ranges from gentle beginning waves up to overhead ripping lefts. Beautiful view of the sunset. crowded Saturday night surf. There are no crowds in the morning. Visitors and residents exchanging waves.

When we visited, there were a lot of local fishermen. There was little surf. Many people harassed us, claiming they wanted to see our automobile. particular is a common occurrence in Costa Rica, although a little excessive at particular beach. Really liked the vibe of a laid-back beach town surfer.
