Transportation to Playa Langosta Tamarindo Guanacaste
At Tamarindo’s doorstep is a beautiful slice of paradise called Playa Langosta. Expansive private estates and luxury villas tucked among tall native trees mark this prestigious area in northwest Costa Rica.
Langosta has a normally chest- to head-high wave that is loved by many locals, while visitors will find the beach relatively calm and unpopulated compared to nearby Tamarindo. Black rocks extend from the butter-colored sand into the bright blue waters, and the beach is named for the many lobsters that can be found among the reef just offshore. It’s also a popular nesting place for the endangered leatherback sea turtle, as part of Las Baulas National Marine Park, with important conservation programs active to keep the beach in perfect condition to bring turtle populations back to health.
