Tamarindo is another very popular spot in Costa Rica. World-class beaches, top-notch accommodations, lively nightlife and many guided tours are just a few of the reasons that this town is one of Costa Ricas most visited. Even someone who doesn’t travel much will feel right at home and relaxed in this paradise. That said, budget minded and low-key backpackers might steer away from Tamarindo’s more touristy elements.
