Costa Rica Tamarindo
Tamarindo, located midway along the beaches of
Guanacaste, is a wide, white-sand beach, a favorite among
surfers. However, it also appeals to any tourist, offering great
snorkeling, boating, kayaking, and diving. Development has
increased considerably in recent years, and accommodations and
restaurants are available to suit every budget. The town itself
is lively, offering the best nightlife in the area.

The most
popular pastime in the area is definitely surfing, and you may
feel you are in California, rather than Costa Rica. The largest
place to rent surf equipment is the Iguana Surf Aquatic
Outfitters. They also offer tours and professional lessons. Cost
for a full day rental is $25 per surfboard. Snorkeling equipment,
boogie boards and sea kayaks are also available for rent.

another great activity to take advantage of while visiting
Tamarindo. The company, Tamarindo Sportfishing boasts a
