Things to see in Costa Rica: Pacific Coast
Flamingo Beach
With its stunning natural beauty and central location, Flamingo Beach has become a popular beach destination. A large selection of activities include scuba diving, sailing, snorkeling, horse-riding, national park tours and sea turtle watching.
Tamarindo
Tamarindo is the bustling surf capital and tourist centre of Costa Rica's north Pacific coast, but besides the stunning beaches it also offers fabulous opportunities to explore the surrounding rainforest reserves, mangrove swamps, estuaries, rivers and volcanoes for wildlife. Tamarindo's broad sandy bay stretches for three and a half kilometres, and is bordered by large river estuaries whose extensive mangrove forests are protected reserves. Leatherback Turtles lay their eggs in the north, howler monkeys swing through trees, parakeets screech as they settle for the night and giant iguanas can be seen downtown!
