While Tamarindo offers the obvious batch of activities and tours that cater to locals and tourists alike, there are a some little-known \u201cinsider secrets\u201d that are not so obvious to short-stay vacationers. Ask any tour company in the area what to do, and they’ll ramble off a list of volcano tours, zip lining treks, and all-day catamaran parties. Don\u2019t get me wrong, all these activities are worthwhile and will stoke your sense of adventure, but if you’re looking to stay in town, save some green, and do what the locals do, this extensive blog should help maximize your time on vacation without breaking the bank.<\/p>

I’ve broken this blog down into a few categories:\u00a0 free activities<\/strong>, almost free activities<\/strong>, and fun but affordable activities<\/strong>. Keep this list handy when the winds go onshore to keep the adventure going.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Hike Mirador Mountain<\/strong><\/p>

Located within the town of Tamarindo, Mirador mountain is one of the highest points in the local area and offers stunning sunset views for those willing to make the climb. From atop the mountain, spectators can see the entire bay of Tamarindo, Captain Island right off-shore, the Las Baulas National seashores of Playa Grande to the north, and the mountainous terrain plunging down towards the shore. Not to mention, this is a perfect place to see the building swells and corduroy line stacking on the horizon. From WRSC, reaching the outlook point takes between 20- 30 min on foot<\/p>

Tip: Catch a taxi and ask them to take you to the “Mirador” next to the Wyndham hotel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Lose Contact in Playa Grande<\/strong><\/p>

The long stretch of untouched beach directly to our north is Playa Grande. Aside from having possibly the\u00a0 most consistent waves in the country, Playa Grande has strict building regulations along the shoreline because of it’s national park status. The beach is large and expansive allowing you can walk miles through white sand without passing anyone. With Tamarindo comfortably in the shadows, this your opportunity to leave your phone behind, temporarily loose contact, and picture yourself as Tom Hanks in Cast Away<\/em> for a few seconds. When the tide drains low and much of the hidden beach is exposed, seashells, driftwood, and all kinds of aquatic crustaceans are revealed. Bringing sea shells on the plane back home is prohibited, but if you can somehow transform your beach combing treasures into a stylish necklace or piece of jewelry before departure, you might get lucky.<\/p>

Tip: Pay 1$ for a boat taxi to chauffeur you across the estuary.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Explore Langosta<\/strong><\/p>

The next beach down to the south from Tamarindo is the resort town of Playa Langosta. From Tamarindo, walk along the beach (at low tide) around the point, or follow the signs along the inland road. Langosta\u2019s rocky shoreline is a great place to check out the sunset, splash around in a tide pool, and even catch some waves. Unlike Tamarindo, Langosta is fairly quiet and mostly caters to higher-end tourists looking for solitude from the Tamarindo energy. There are some great restaurants to grab a bite to eat in Langosta including the\u00a0Surf Club Bar & Grill<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0Fish and Cheeses<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>

Tip: Rent a bike so you can enjoy the journey while getting some exercise. If you end up at the Surf Club Bar & Grill, get the Reuben.<\/p>

Check Out the New Oneida Park<\/strong><\/p>

You know where the skate park \/ bowl is in Tamarindo? If you’ve passed by that area over the years, you probably didn’t think much of it, maybe you even thought it was kinda seedy… As a blessing to the community,\u00a0ADI Tamarindo<\/a>\u00a0(Integral Development Association of Tamarindo)\u00a0 posed the simple, but important idea of transforming Oneida park into an attractive and clean space for the entire community. The 2000 square meter park now features a fresh section of concrete for street-skating, a half basketball court with updated hoops and plexi-glass backboards, a lovely jungle gym for kids over a large\u00a0 sandbox, and clean AstroTurf trim to fill the gaps and extra cushion for picnics and clumsy toddlers<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pipa Guy<\/strong><\/p>

If you’ve been to Tamarindo, then you most likely know (or at least have heard of) the Pipa Guy. Walking the Tamarindo streets everyday with his blue cooler filled with coconuts, the Pipa Guy attracts customers with his megaphonic voice that traverses the entire town. If you\u2019ve never drank water straight from a fresh coconut, then you’re in for a pleasantly delicious surprise. Aside from the enjoyable flavor, \u00a0studies suggest that coconut water has significant anti-ageing, anti-carcinogenic, and anti-thrombotic (anti-clot formation) effects. Check out his\u00a0youtube video<\/a>!<\/p>

Tips: Really like the Pipa Guy? Witch\u2019s Rock sells custom \u201cPipa Guy\u201d T-shirts.<\/p>

SUP \/ Kayak to Captain Island<\/strong><\/p>

Located right offshore of Tamarindo is the uninhabited Isla Capitan (Captain Island). While there are no establishments on this small island, it can offer a cheap adventure for those looking for some exercise, exploration and a little bit of danger… Located right in the center of the Tamarindo Bay, Isla Capitan offers a unique view of Tamarindo, Playa Grande, and our neighboring beach town, Langosta. Rent an SUP, a kayak, or even paddle out on a longboard. The journey takes about 25 min each way and will surely shape up your paddling skills.<\/p>

Tip: Go out the the island when the tide is dropping close to dead low tide. Paddle back to the shore once the tide starts rising again. Paddling with the current is always easier. For example, if low tide is at 12:00 noon, start your journey to the Island at 11:00am and come back around 1:00pm when the tide starts rising.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Get a Trits<\/strong><\/p>

With all this heat, you need to cool off somehow..right? And what better way to do so than with this Costa Rican born ice-cream concoction known as \u201cTrits\u201d. Essentially, this melt-in-your-mouth treat is a generous portion of vanilla ice cream lovingly embraced between two sugary graham crackers with a small dollop of chocolate sauce thrown in for good measure.\u00a0Calling it an ice-cream sandwich would be a cop out..<\/p>

Tips: Sold as most convenient stores for about $2.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Casado Car Lady<\/strong><\/p>

Anywhere else, it would probably be illegal to sell food straight out of the trunk of your car, but not in Tamarindo! This locally famous Se\u00f1ora and her blue hatchback have established a reputation for some of the best Casados in Tamarindo at probably the most attractive price. What is a Casado you ask? It’s a delicious combination for rice, beans, salad, platano maduros, and a protein (beef, chicken, or fish). This lady even throws in a fresco\u00a0 which is basically a sweetened juice made from local fruits.<\/p>
