Accommodation was nice, chill vibe, they gave good advice for cheap board rental and tips for getting a cheap lesson. Touristy town but nice, good variety of places to eat. There are mosquito nets in the room so expect some insect visitors, but I think that's just how things are in Costa Rica, the bugs rule. They had live music on Sunday, Tony Putaggio & Johan. They were fantastic and it was an intimate setting in the Pura Vida Hut.
Did not take lessons there but got some from a guy on the beach. Beaches are nice, not too crowded, good waves
We provide Airport Transfers from and to Liberia and they can be booked in the booking steps.

SUP Lessons
Tamarind Beach
Level: Beginner
World class Begginer wave , its a perfect waves to learn how to surf
The norther Pacific side of Costa Rica is best know for its fun waves rather than epic 10 foot advanced surf!
Air temperature in the north is the same year round 32°C. The seasons are divided in two: dry Season from December to April and wet season from May to November. Dry season is the busiest time for tourism in Costa Rica and they call it their summer.
Tamarindo is a year round surf destinations. The bigger swell season is from April to October. From December to March you tend to get smaller but clean 4 foot waves and is probably the best time to go. Wind is not usually a big factor but as with most places the morning will be best for glassy offshore conditions.
Surf beaches around Tamarindo
The main surf beach in the area is Playa Grande, a very consistent long beautiful beach break for intermediates. La Casita across the estuary is a fast beach break. El Estero is the fast rivermouth, great for longboarder surfers.
Surfing Tamarindo beach itself is great for all levels with Pico Pequeno & Pico Grande for more advanced. Further south is Playa Langosta, rocky underneath the surface and offering fun waves. Playa Avellanas is the most stunning beach in the area and suits all standards. One of Costa Roca's best. Playa Negra further south is an excellent right hand reef break over crystal clear water.
That's just a few of the many ideal surf breaks you can experience when on a surfing vacation in Tamarindo. Come Surf with us...
