Tamarindo is the most developed beach town in Guanacaste, about 70 minutes from Liberia airport, with the coast's widest choice of restaurants, surf schools, nightlife, and services. It draws a younger, more international crowd than Coco, and the surrounding communities of Langosta, Hacienda Pinilla, Playa Grande, and Avellanas give buyers a range from beachfront condos to gated golf estates and rural surf retreats.
Expat Properties CR is based in Playas del Coco, an hour north, and our Tamarindo-area listings come through the agents and partners we work with there. If you are comparing the two towns, the short version is: Tamarindo for energy, surf, and a large expat scene; Coco for a quieter, more Costa Rican town closer to the airport with stronger value in the condo market.
It depends on how you plan to live. Tamarindo has more restaurants, surf, and nightlife and a larger year-round expat population, at higher prices and a longer airport drive. Coco is closer to the airport, more Costa Rican in feel, calmer for swimming, and generally offers more for the money in condos and homes. We are happy to show you both.
Our current listings in Tamarindo range from $312,000 to $1,350,000. Ocean views, walking distance to the beach, and gated communities with pools carry a premium; inland lots and older Costa Rican homes offer the most for the money.
