South Shore

Tamarindo is in a bay.  To the north is Playa Grande with it's smooth sand ideal for walking.  To the south is all together different.  The south end of Tamarindo Bay is defined by rocks and a high cliff.

There are two ways to get around the cliff.  You can wait for low tide and walk on the rocks.  But that is a little tricky.  Or, you can follow a trail and go over the top.

From the top of the hill you get a good view of the entire Tamarindo Bay.  Looking the other direction you have a totally different experience (this is a picture at low tide).

 

 

Instead of a nice smooth beach with solid sand there are rocks and the sand is very soft and consists mostly of ground up shells.   At high tide the waves are much bigger and this is where the better surfers tend to be.

 

You can walk on this beach for miles.

There are beautiful homes along the way.

And places to rest and relax.

We have Tamarindo Beach, Playa Grande, and Langosta Beach.  It is wonderful to have such different beaches to enjoy so close by.
