image attractions tamarindo costa rica


There are many great attractions and activities in Tamarindo Costa Rica. Tamarindo is a coastal town in the Guanacaste province in Costa Rica in Central America that has a lot to offer the visitor who is looking for a fun, activity filled vacation. 


Attractions: There are many attractions to take on Tamarindo. Your only problem will be time. I will narrow it down to a few, but remember there are many more just as good or better.



  1. Las Baulas Marine National Park . Whether or not you are a confirmed nature lover, a visit to Las Baulas Marine National Park will wow you. If you are visiting between October and April you will see the world's largest group of nesting leatherback turtles. Take a tour through the luscious rain forests and get up close and personal with the iguanas and crocodiles. Well, not too personal.



  2. leatherback turtles The beautiful 2 mile long white sandy beach and vivid blue water, is not only for swimming. You can also catch a glimpse of the leatherback turtles and take in the magnificent views of the mountains and the two national parks that surround it.



  3. Surfing. Tamarindo is one of the most popular surfing destinations in Costa Rica and a magnet for surfers of all levels. It is a great place for the new or beginner surfer due to the wave patterns. Since they break regularly before reaching the beach, you are able to work your way up from the smaller to the more challenging waves. Snorkeling, sports fishing, scuba diving and sailing are also huge draws for tourists.

It seems like due to COVID-19 and stay at home orders, campgrounds had become a high demand commodity. ©Ashauntae(2020) Tiffen Allegro Motorhome With perservance we managed to find three nights in the St Malo Provincial park in mid July. The highlight of St Malo is it's family friendly twin beaches.  One of the beaches called sunset beach is the ideal location to watch the sunset.

Enter if you dare. It can be like entering a haunted house with sights and sounds of an era past on a pirate ship. The first room on the ship belongs to the ship's carpenter who had the most important job on the ship. The ship holds many historical facts about famous pirates, their conquests and their demise. There are replica jails, re-enactment image  of a gruesome surgery at sea, and other pirate artifacts. On the outside of the museum you can take your photo locked in the stocks.
