Tamarindo Resorts & Tours

Tamarindo is a lively beach town on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste in northwest Costa Rica, known for its surf breaks, sunsets and easy-going nightlife. Most visitors stay along Playa Tamarindo itself, in the quieter Playa Langosta area just south of town, or across the estuary at Playa Grande, part of Las Baulas National Marine Park.

International flights land at Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport (LIR) in Liberia, about 1 hour 15 minutes away by road. The local currency is the Costa Rican colón, and U.S. dollars are widely accepted. The dry season runs from about December to April, and the green season, with afternoon rain, from May to November.
