The City
Tamarindo is a small town and district located on the Nicoya Peninsula on the Northern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica in the Province of Guanacaste. We locals call it “Playa Tamarindo”. Once very charming and sleepy fisherman village, became quickly popular after the movie “The Endless Summer” featuring Robert August – the pioneer from California that turned his surfing passion into one of the most popular and quickly developing sports in history. If you are interested to see him be sure to check out his shop and surf boards shaping.
The Weather
Do not worry about the weather…that displays on your phone or computer! For the most part, in Tamarindo, we have dry and sunny weather even during our rainy season. Matter of fact the BEST time to visit Costa Rica and Tamarindo in general is during rainy season. As everything is green and fresh, there are not so many tourists, the restaurants and bars have specials and the hotels and hostels are running super low prices. Come and see for yourself!
