This is one of our favorite weekend destinations, a day at the beach Avellanas combined with lunch at Lolas. Its a 40min drive from the house, dirt road, 4x4 not necessary but road can be bumpy , its a real fun adventure ;-). The beach is stunning, the restaurant right on the beach, just perfect for an easy day enjoying the sun, sea and pura vida life.

Nightlife
Excellent place if you want to mingle with the locals in Tamarindo and enjoy the nightlife. It starts at sunset and continues throughout the evening. Great spot for drinks, the cocktails are excellent, but the food is delicious too so don’t skip this restaurant. Depending on the day of the week there’s (live or dj) music a little later in the eve.

Do you like horses, the beach, sunset and feeling free? Then do not hesitate to do a tour with Pacific Horses. My friend Nicole and owner of the 10 beautiful and happy pacific horses would love to share her passion with you. Plus Playa Conchal is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area.

This is a great activity if you like being on sea. Timarouba is one of the best catamarans of Tamarindo Bay. My friend Olivier (the owner) is a good and safe sailer.

Playa Grandes' National Park Las Baulas is not only great for beach time, sunset and good surf. It's also the beach where you can see turtles when it's the right season.

For the best beach spot : when you arrive at the main parking of playa grande (straight ahead when you reach the beach), follow the road by turning right, then first parking area on the left, next to the palm trees; there's shade at this part of the beach. It's lovely for a day at the beach.

Hidden quit beach. You will find a white beach, transparent water, little people. It's an adventurous little trip, but worth it. Bring water and food, as there's nothing around. Good place fo a day trip at the beach.
