Explore Tamarindo's surroundings by going to Potrero Beach (in Playa Potrero), Playa Conchal (in Playa Conchal) and Nosara (International Animal Rescue Costa Rica & Sibu Wildlife Sanctuary). There's lots more to do: tour the pleasant surroundings at Tamarindo Beach, get a taste of life in the country at Pura Aventura, enjoy the sand and surf at Samara Beach, and admire the sheer force of Belen Waterfall.
