1. Take a Sunset Cruise on a Catamaran
Some of the best experiences we had in Tamarindo were undoubtedly on the Sunset Cruises (affectionately titled “The Booze Cruise”). For less than $90, you will get unlimited alcohol, a lunch, time to swim/snorkel in the Pacific (and often see beautiful sea life), plenty of boat lounging time, and the most gorgeous view of sunset.
Simply because this is a Booze Cruise does not mean older travelers should stay away. I went on a sunset cruise 3 times and never experienced out-of-control guests. I took my very own parents on the catamaran, and they loved it.
I recommend Marlin Del Rey.
2. Sip Mojitos at the El Be
Without any doubt, El Be is the coolest beachside spot in Tamarindo. With lounge chairs and beds, tree swings, bean bags, hammocks, and regular tables and chairs – you have plenty of options for relaxation right on the sand.
El Be has a happy hour each day and the mojitos and beer (Imperial and Pilsen are the local beers) are half off. El Be makes the best mojitos around! So either bring your swimsuit and chill here for your day of beaching, or come in the late afternoon to watch the sunset as you drink away your cares!
3. Go on a Beach Crawl
Tamarindo’s Beach and Pool Crawl is one of the best experiences around. You gather on a bus that takes you to other beaches or resort pools in nearby towns. At each stop, you get a free shot and then can order whatever other drinks you’d like.
This is a great way to see some places other than Tamarindo while having a fun group experience.
4. Stay at Casa Monacita
We have stayed at Casa Monacita twice and loved it each time. It’s located up a hill, so you can have a view of the Pacific Ocean from their private pool. There is also a top patio deck that is perfect for lounging, eating, and soaking up the Pura Vida vibes.
Keep in mind, to get the benefits of the view from a hill, you do have to climb up that hill to get there. It is totally worth it as long as you are physically capable of waking up an incline. Bonus: you burn off all those alcohol calories!
5. Eat Plantains Just About Anywhere
Gallo Pinto: the typical breakfast
