 Surfing
- Costa Rica has some of the best Surfing in the World, and Tamarindo
is the surfing capital of the North Pacific. With all kinds of
breaks, sizes and types of surf, the North Pacific Coast has many
choices for surfers. If you're a surfer, you must visit the North
Pacific coast.

Scuba
Diving - The North Pacific offers some of the most
accessible, consistently good diving in Costa Rica. Diving here
is characterized by lots of fish, big schools of fish, and large
fish. Some of the dives have reduced visibility and strong surges
and currents. Diving here is totally different from the typical
Caribbean-based dive destinations. Costa Rica is not primarily
a dive destination, so only plan on 2-3 days of diving, at the
most.

Golf
- Playa Conchal and Hacienda Pinilla are two of the best
courses in Costa Rica. Playa Conchal is a "big," challenging
course, even for scratch golfers. Hacienda Pinilla is a new course
with a superb layout and beautiful views. If you like to golf,
the North Pacific has great courses waiting for you!

Turtle
Watching - Playa Grande and other beaches nearby are nesting
areas for 2 species of sea turtles (Leatherbacks & Olive Ridleys).
If you're really lucky, you'll have the experience of a lifetime,
but you never know exactly when they will arrive. You must do
this at night!

 |
Beaches
- Playa Conchal, Playa Panama and Playa Azucar are top-notch beaches.
Many beaches in Guanacaste have white sand, and long stretches
with very few people. We'll be happy to make suggestions on how
and when to visit them!

Horseback
Riding: Several areas on the North Pacific coast offer horseback
riding near or on the beach, or in the dry tropical forests of
this region. This can be very hot and uncomfortable, so go early
in the morning.
|
 |
Fishing:
World class
sportfishing and inshore fishing can be found in the region during
certain times of the year. Several reputable operators have good
boats and crews available, mainly from the Tamarindo/Flamingo
area.
