Tamarindo’s culinary scene was a standout. A few of our favorite spots included:
Tamarindo is a vibrant beach town with something for everyone—from rowdy surf nights to relaxing family vacations. Its mix of visitors includes solo adventurers, backpackers, surfers, and plenty of families and couples.
While the overall vibe is welcoming and safe, it’s important to be mindful of your surroundings, especially after dark. The town’s nightlife is centered around the main bar strip, which gets particularly busy from Thursday through Sunday. If you’re traveling with children or prefer a calmer scene, consider avoiding those areas late at night.
Keep your personal items close, don’t leave valuables in your car, and never leave belongings unattended on the beach—even for a quick swim. Holidays like Christmas, New Year’s, and Easter (Semana Santa) bring in larger crowds and, unfortunately, a higher risk of theft. Be extra cautious during these peak times to keep your things safe.
Tamarindo remains a favorite destination for travelers of all ages—but like any popular tourist town, a little awareness goes a long way in ensuring a smooth, enjoyable trip.
Overall vibe? Tamarindo is lively, walkable, and full of charm. It strikes a great balance between laid-back beach life and plenty of activity—perfect for couples, families, or groups looking for a flexible coastal base with great access to excursions, dining, and wellness all wrapped up in a lively beach town.
