Tamarindo

Tamarindo sits on Costa Rica's Pacific Gold Coast and has evolved from a sleepy fishing village into Central America's surf capital. The consistent beach breaks are perfect for beginners, while nearby Witch's Rock and Ollie's Point deliver world-class waves for experienced surfers. The town pulses with pura vida energy — surf shops, organic restaurants, and sunset sessions define daily life. Howler monkeys wake you up, warm water keeps you in, and the breaks rarely go flat.
