Tamarindo Beach located on Peninsula de Nicoya, Guanacaste, between Playa Grande and Playa Langosta, contains protected nesting areas for the giant Leatherback turtle. Tamarindo has all the amenities of a Costa Rican beach town: surf, sand and sun. But it offers much more. It is the ideal place for honeymoons and weddings, couples, and families, and wonderfully suited to eco-adventures.
