Welcome to the heart of the action in Guanacaste! Tamarindo is a long, golden-sand beach with a buzzing energy you'll feel instantly. It's the perfect place to learn to surf with its gentle, consistent waves, or you can just grab a cocktail from a beachfront bar and enjoy the show. Stick around for sunset – they're legendary here, painting the sky with brilliant colors over the Pacific. The whole town with its shops and restaurants is right behind the sand, so everything you need is just a few steps away.

The small town itself has plenty of options to dine and night life but its definitly the most expensive beach town in Costa Rica.
