Tamarindo is the most recognized destination on Costa Rica’s Gold Coast — a vibrant beach town where world-class surf, international dining, and a thriving expat community converge on one of the Pacific’s most stunning stretches of coastline. Just 75 minutes from Liberia International Airport, Tamarindo offers guests everything from sunset catamaran cruises and estuary kayaking to sportfishing charters off the Catalina Islands, zipline tours through tropical canopy, and weekly night markets with live music and local artisan vendors. Boutique shopping, craft breweries, yoga studios, farm-to-table restaurants, and a walkable town center make it the most complete beach town in Guanacaste — and one of the strongest short-term rental markets in all of Costa Rica.
