About Tamarindo
Tamarindo is a beach town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, in the province of Guanacaste, and it is one of the country's busiest places for visitors. The surf breaks over sand along a wide beach, with an estuary at its northern end and rocks at the southern, and the waves are generally described as gentle and forgiving, which is why the town is full of surf schools and rental shops. Waves reach this coast through much of the year, and the biggest swells usually arrive in the southern winter, typically from around May to October. Stronger waves break at Playa Grande across the estuary, which is part of a national park where turtles come ashore to nest. Tamarindo is widely considered one of the easiest places in the region to learn.
