Answer by Jay Dub
I was in Tamarindo in 2002. I was under the impression that it was well known for it’s surfing as well . . . but after going there I was completely underwhelmed. I think it’s famous for it’s surf because it’s good for beginning surfers. I would recommend going further down the Pacific coast to Jaco if you’re experienced and looking for good waves.

Actually the water in Tamarindo is a big problem.The government has tested it and extremely high bacteria levels are present.I was there a month ago and I wont go in the water.The bars are great though.
If you do go make sure you dont swallow any water and make sure you dont have any open cuts.
I am 100% serious.
by the way,it is the ocean water that is polluted , not the tap water as far as i know.

Some surfing footage from Playa Avellanas just south of Tamarindo. Thanks to Go Pro for the Cameras, Surftech and Costa Rica Paddle Surf for the boards and Cabinas Las Olas for the killer place to stay.
