         INFORMATION & ATTRACTIONS

                                                                                                                                         The Tamarindo area is one of the world class fishing, surfing and exotic vacation destinations in the world.  And soon to become golf's as well, with present pro designed courses in Papagayo,  Hacienda Pinilla and Reserva Conchal.  Future planned championship courses are also being developed by Premier World Class 5 Star Hotel Resorts, such as The Ritz and Hyatt.

Guanacaste contains some of the most beautiful beaches on the Pacific Ocean. From calm waters with great swimming, to the finest sand beaches with magnificent panoramas, Tamarindo shores are now receiving international recognition. Generous palm trees rise up from the beaches providing shade to sunbathers.

CNBC of New York visited the area in April 2006, and on its aired program   "On The Money", where they proclaimed that the area was one of the "fastest growing vacation Mecca's of the world". Tamarindo is located in the province of Guanacaste, which is in the northwest quadrant of Costa Rica.

How to get here:                                                                                                                - 3.5 hour drive from the capital city of San Jose                                                                          - about a 40 minute domestic flight from Juan Santamaria International Airport
- about a 45 minute drive from International Liberia Airport
 
                                                                                                            Local Information:                                                                                                             The village of Tamarindo has grown over the past few years into a small modern center, with an expanding range of services and amenities: such as medical services, a police department, banking, wireless telephone coverage, fax access, cable providers and high speed wireless internet access.

The waters of Tamarindo offer some of the best deep-sea fishing in the world for sailfish, marlin, swordfish, tuna, snapper and dozens of other species.

Tamarindo is the largest beach community on the Gold Coast of Guanacaste, with dozens of restaurants, hotels, shops, car rental agencies, and it even has its own domestic air strip for fast interior transportation in Costa Rica.

Medical and health services in Costa Rica are generally rated as very good. Both the government and some private companies offer reasonably priced, comprehensive medical and hospital insurance programs. Every pharmacy by law must have a doctor on staff to examine patients at no cost.  A great local Costa Rican service, provided to all!                                                                                                     Tamarindo's Climate:                                                                                            Tamarindo's climate has two seasons, dry and rainy. The dry season, from November through April, is dry, hot and sunny. The humidity is very low and comfortable.  Everything is green and lush during this time of year. Although there are no hurricanes here, a hurricane or tropical depression in the Atlantic or Caribbean often means rain for Tamarindo. Temperatures in Tamarindo range between 80 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit, year round.

The rainy season begins in late April or early May and continues through October. A typical day in the green season is sunny or partly cloudy until late afternoon or evening, when showers build inland and move offshore, often producing spectacular rain storms followed by awesome sunsets.   

Services:                                                                                                                  Tamarindo boasts an amazing selection of fine international and typical Costa Rican restaurants. Tamarindo has a French bakery, as well as restaurants catering to health-conscious and vegetarian patrons. You will never tire of sampling the wonderful variations of uniquely prepared specialties featuring the abundant supply of fresh local seafood, fruits and vegetables.

Tamarindo also has numerous malls, grocery stores, fresh produce and fruit juice stands, an ice factory, a variety of souvenir and clothing shops, an art gallery, medical clinic, pharmacies, hardware stores, service banks with ATM machines, real estate offices, Laundromats and internet cafes. Our area now has a new school, Country Day School which is just a 15 minute drive from Tamarindo.

Water Sports:                                                                                                           Tamarindo Bay has become a mecca for surfers and blue water sport fishermen. Our sport fishing fleet of talented and conservation oriented captains are the pioneers of the Pacific coast. Their record catches of marlin, sailfish, giant tuna and other species have become legendary. Whether you want deep blue water fishing, or reef or shoreline fishing, our fleet can accommodate you. Surf casting and hand lining in front of your hotel for snook and jack are also popular. Any way you do it you can be sure to have your fresh catch cooked up for you at one of the friendly beachfront restaurants.

 Warm water surfing is enjoyed year round, and families find this area offers  opportunities for surfers of all skill levels to enjoy the great waves that bless this  part of the coast. Tamarindo is forever known as the first stop on the epic    worldwide surf journey in the popular movie Endless Summer II.      

Visitors can also use our services to book scuba diving, snorkeling trips, beach cruises, water jet- skiing, catamarans, ocean and river kayaking, wind surfing, kite surfing, sailing cruises and horseback riding. Bicycles, beach gear, surfboards, boogie boards and equipment of all types are readily available for rental from local specialty stores.

Golfing:                                                                                                                             Two 18-hole championship golf courses are nearby, one was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr, and the other, Royal Country Club in Hacienda Pinilla was designed by Ron Garl, who is the president of the Golf Architects Association, and was voted golf course designer of the year for 1997. Hacienda Pinilla is the latest golf course in our area, offering spectacular views of the ocean. The Tamarindo area is soon to become a world class golfing destination with planned championship courses being developed by Hotel Resorts such as The Marriott and Hyatt.
