The area
Laidback surf town, 3-minute walk to the beach, with surf lessons and ATV jungle tours; the wider region spans beaches, jungle, rainforest, mangroves, and coral reefs across roughly a dozen ecosystems.

Things to do nearby
Playa Grande is a quieter, less-developed alternative to Tamarindo across the estuary - consistent surf, a protected turtle-nesting beach, and a slower small-town pace with fewer crowds.
●Eat: Try casado plate, fresh ceviche, and gallo pinto.
