The beach is absolutely stunning with its sandy shores, making it an ideal spot for beginners to learn how to surf. It's also incredibly safe, although it tends to get quite crowded. Nevertheless, it's the perfect place to catch breathtaking sunsets.

The beach was a blast! They offered horseback riding, beachside massages, and surf lessons. There were also some great restaurants to enjoy. The water was warm, the waves were gentle, and the sand was smooth with hardly any rocks. I'm already counting down the days until I can return.

Tamarindo Beach on Costa Rica's Pacific coast offers an unbeatable beach experience. It has a fantastic atmosphere for those seeking swimming, surfboarding, and horseback riding. Additionally, there are convenient amenities such as bars, restaurants, shops, hotels, and rental gear located just steps away from the beach on C. Central (Main Street). The sunsets are truly wonderful, and during the season, the nightlife is vibrant and exciting. I highly recommend checking it out!

The beach is absolutely stunning, with its picturesque surroundings and charming little tourist town. There are numerous restaurants to choose from, all of which are trendy, clean, and modern. Additionally, there are some lovely boutiques for shopping enthusiasts. However, it should be noted that this beach town tends to be on the busier side, which may not suit those seeking a quieter atmosphere. Personally, I find it almost too bustling for my liking, but overall, it is still quite pleasant. The locals are incredibly friendly, the dining options are fantastic, and the beaches are expansive, offering plenty of activities to enjoy.
