La Selva Biological Station

Learn to Surf in Tamarindo

Make a surf lesson part of your Tamarindo stay. Tell your instructor about your experience and comfort in the water so they can choose an appropriate lesson and location.

Limón’s Coastal Breakwater

The breakwater is part of the city’s urban story and relationship with the sea. View it from secure public space and compare the shoreline with its historic role. Avoid exposed edges when waves or weather make them unsuitable.
