The Surf Capital of Guanacaste
Tamarindo's reputation as a world-class surf destination is well-earned. With consistent beach breaks suitable
for beginners and intermediate surfers, and more challenging reef breaks nearby for experienced riders, the
waves here are as welcoming as the town itself.
The surf culture in Tamarindo is woven into the fabric of everyday life — from early morning sessions as the sun
rises over the Pacific, to late afternoon rides as the golden light hits the water. With Villa Dunama just steps
from the beach, you'll never miss a swell.
