Reprinted from Explore Costa Rica.com All Rights Reserved Tours, Things to Do Tours Tamarindo & Things to do, Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica Tamarindo is a long, white-sand beach. Still, you have to be careful when and where you swim. The calmest water and best swimming are always down at the far southern end of Tamarindo beach, toward Punta Langosta. Much of the sea just off the busiest part of Tamarindo town is best for surfing in Costa Rica. When there's any swell, you'll find scores of surfers in the water here. Be careful: there are rocks just offshore in several places, some of which are exposed only at low tide. An encounter with one of these rocks could be nasty, especially if you're bodysurfing. I also advise that you avoid swimming near the estuary mouth, where the currents can carry you out away from the beach.
