Playa Langosta
A quiet beach you can reach on foot south of Tamarindo, with reef tide pools, a river mouth and luxury villas. At sunset it is far calmer than the main beach.
Playa Langosta lies about 1.5 km south of Tamarindo’s town center and can be reached by walking along the beach and reefs at low tide. Reefs divide the sand into several sections. At low tide tide pools appear, where you can see small fish and hermit crabs. The San Francisco River mouth at the southern end is a birdwatching spot. The surf here is more powerful than at the main beach, suiting intermediate surfers. The beach is surrounded mainly by holiday villas and boutique hotels, with few public facilities, so bring your own drinking water and shade.
