Man surfs in water off Playa Guiones, Guanacaste

Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Surf’s up in Costa Rica’s Pacific coast town of Tamarindo. No need to bring a board or any skills to hang 10; this tiny surf town has everything you need to learn how to carve waves, pura vida style. If that’s a little too salty a suggestion for you, this Culture Trip experience will also send you puma-spotting high in the cloud forests and soaking in the volcanic hot springs of Arenal. After a hard day of play, a California massage at the spa will do your muscles well.
