THE LOCATION
Tamarindo, Guanacaste
Playa Grande is a small community with only a handful of hotels and its main attraction is the National Park Marino Las Baulas, famous for being a turtle nestling and hatching sanctuary. Playa Grande is just across the river estuary from Tamarindo, a former fishing village that is turning into Guanacaste region first seaside resort. Although only two kilometres apart, there is no direct road between Playa Grande and Tamarindo and the drive is about 45 minutes. Neverthelss, you can walk down the beach to the estuary and take a boat to cross the river, which will take about half the time of driving round the estuary.
Climate
Tropical. The rainy season runs from May to October, with clear mornings and late afternoon showers.
