Every Thursday night from 6pm-9pm, the beach town of Tamarindo comes together at the Tamarindo Night Market. The market has live music performances, fire dancers, and family-friendly fun and features a number of stalls with food, artisan goods and local hand-crafted souvenirs. There is also a skate park on-site popular with local kids of all ages. It’s a fun place to be on a Thursday night and a great way to feel the vibe of the town.
Enjoy one of Tamarindo's many beaches! Tamarindo Beach is also a popular spot for beach volleyball, a casual soccer match and other activities. There are plenty of restaurants on the beach, so you can enjoy ocean views with a cocktail in hand. The beach is also the best place to catch a Tamarindo sunset–all you need to do is find a spot to lay down your beach towel!
