Tamarindo, Costa Rica

A few weeks ago Mike and I made a five day trip to Tamarindo, Costa Rica. I first fell in love with Costa Rica 12 years ago when I studied aboard in college.

I lived with a Costa Rican family in a little town outside of San Jose while attending a school there. While I studied in Costa Rica I got to explore a new place of the country almost every weekend. The nice thing about Costa Rica is that it is small enough that you can get to almost any place in the country in half a day or less, unless it is a really remote beach that requires you to drive on dirt roads {in my opinion those are always the places that are the most beautiful, so if time permits, do it!}.

One of my favorite beaches that my friends and I visited while in Costa Rica was Tamarindo. I have so many good memories there. Tamarindo is known for the great surfing and beautiful beaches. Mike and I like to pretend like we know how to surf…we’ve taken lessons, rented boards at a lot of the beach spots we have gone to. Obviously we have a long, long way to go. On this trip I got to live vicariously through all of the amazing surfers that make their way to the beaches. in Tamarindo.
