5 Things To Do In Tamarindo

Yes, it’s true: Tamarindo is a surfer’s paradise. But that does not mean that surfing is the only activity that Tamarindo does really well. The beauty of this beach town is its diversity of experiences. There are countless tours and activities to participate in, but here are 5 simple things to do in Tamarindo that are more simple pleasures. Pura Vida!


 



1. Watching The Sunset


Everything is about the sunset. The amount of photos that are taken around 5:30 each night in Tamarindo probably beats out the rest of the day combined. The community could be about its regular business until 5:10, but come 5:15, everybody starts congregating onto the beach to see the sunset to the left.


This is also when most of the beachside restaurants offer happy hour. So you can sip your favorite cocktail while watching the sky turn shades of orange, pink, and purple. It is the epitome of the Pura Vida lifestyle.


 



2. Bicycling


 


Tamarindo is an incredibly bike-friendly town for men, women, and children alike. On any given day you will see many bicyclists going from here to there and everywhere, using their bikes as a means of transportations. Other times, a bike is a perfect way to simply enjoy the day even with no destination. Having a bike, whether you are on vacation or living in town, also makes for a great way to go back and forth between the neighboring beach, Playa Langosta.


 



3. Eating Diverse Cuisine


Simply because Costa Rica is known for its rice, beans, and plantains does not mean there is not a more diverse variety of cuisines in Tamarindo. You will find Italian food, Greek food, Mexican food, American barbecue, and much more. From large steakhouses for dinner and quaint eateries for breakfast and lunch, you will be surprised how eating through the restaurants in Tamarindo can become an activity in and of itself.


 


 
 
 
 

4. Playing Sports


As one could assume, a pick-up soccer game can be found frequently in Tamarindo, on the beach or in a field. There are also organized leagues for kids and adults. Volleyball is another beloved pastime in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. There are so many other ways to stay active in Costa Rica. An abundance of yoga studios keeps the yogis of the community happy too.


 



 

5. Enjoying Live Entertainment


Most nights of the week offer multiple options for live entertainment. Whether it is a lone musician playing on the beach for happy hour, a night of reggae music for dancing fun, or fire dancers putting on a late night spectacle with many “ooohs” and “ahhhs.” there is always something for everyone to enjoy.

We had so much fun at Buena Vista. Thanks for arranging that with Memo.
I also want to say many thanks for all that you have done. We have enjoyed Costa Rica and I have found you so helpful with everything and a pleasure to deal with that it was a very stress free vacation. When I do come back here hopefully you will still be doing what what you do.
Our last couple of days will be spent enjoying the sunshine and eating at great restaurants. Sincerely,

Tara, Kevin and Roy., Costa Rica

We are- UNHAPPILY- home safe. Would much rather be back in Tamarindo. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING you did to make our stay a joy ! We look very much forward to seeing you on our next trip to Costa Rica. PURA VIDA !

While my computer is still running here, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank you for your help during our stay.
When we first came to your office, we were in dire straights and in desperate need of assistance. Andrea was extremely compassionate, spoke with candor, and had a "can do attitude" that was of immense help.
In addition, Andrea has put us in contact with Steve, with whom we are working, preparing to view a little property that might be just what we are looking for at this particular time.
In addition, having gotten to know Andrea personally as well as professionally has been our great pleasure. I wanted to let you know what a tremendous asset she is to your company. She is a great treasure -- a one in a million.

Laurel and Tony,
The both of you were fantastic with us throughout the property search and purchase process. As we had mentioned, two other attempts to find thorough, attentive, responsive agents to work with in Tamarindo were failures. I expect that we are more work to deal with than many others as we asked a lot of thorough and analytical questions and expected responses to all of them. You two never failed to deliver. The organization and execution of our condo shopping trip in January was excellent and the fact that you two devoted 2 full days to us, around our schedule, to get this deal done was key to our success. The selection of properties that Laurel planned out, including a few places above and below our target zone helped us to refine our interests. We truly appreciated your interest in our success. This could easily have been very stressful for us, and yet, it wasn’t. Thank you very much.
As a side note, when we walked into the Coldwell Banker office randomly with no appointment in November had we not found your office staff patient and accommodating from the start we would have simply walked on to the next agency. Your staff deserves special mention for getting us interested in the agency to begin with.
We will give you some advance notice before we make our first trip down so that we can plan to get together for lunch or dinner. We are tentatively planning on somewhere in the last 2 weeks of May, as soon as our son gets out of school for the summer.
