Surfing remains the main reason to take a trip to Tamarindo, as the beachside town is mostly known for its excellent waves.

Discover out-of-the-way places like San Juanillo Beach and SIBU Wildlife Sanctuary. Koss Art Gallery and Rojas Bros Boruca Indigenous Arts are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Explore Tamarindo's surroundings by going to Nosara (Nosara Refuge for Wildlife & MAEL's ABSTRACT ART GALLERY), Potrero Beach (in Playa Potrero) and Playa Conchal (in Playa Conchal). There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Tamarindo Beach, admire the sheer force of Belen Waterfall, get a taste of life in the country at Pura Aventura, and enjoy the sand and surf at Barrigona Beach.
