Cozy on the Costa Rican west coast
One of Costa Rica's most popular coastal towns, Playa Tamarindo has a dry tropical climate with plenty of sun for enjoying the surrounding white beaches, national parks and breathtaking mountains. You don’t have to go far to experience nature – Howler Monkeys can often be seen swinging on branches throughout town! As a popular surfer haven, Tamarindo’s nightlife can be as wild as the waves with massive beach parties and hot clubs for dancing. And, if the Latin beat hasn’t already caught you then allow the locals, called Ticos, to teach you to salsa and you will certainly never want to leave.
