Things to Do In Playa Tamarindo, Guanacaste
One thing that Costa Rica, and Tamarindo, in particular, is not lacking is “what to do” while you’re here! The area is absolutely filled with activities of all kinds, meaning all ages and energy levels are taken care of.
Care to relax in a hammock and stroll the beach for shells and sea-glass? Have at it.
Race through the jungle canopy at almost 40mph on a zipline? Check.
Horseback gallop on the beach at sunset on a white stallion? Covered.
