Where to sleep in Tamarindo — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Tamarindo center — surf-town core
Board racks, smoothie bars and sunset circles on the main beach.
Langosta — the quiet end
Estuary-side calm ten minutes' walk from the noise.
Playa Grande — across the estuary
Leatherback-nesting beach with fewer humans — boat taxi to town.
Avellanas & Negra — surf pilgrimages
Dirt-road beaches south for the wave-first crowd.
