TAMARINDO PLAYA LANGOSTA FLAMINGO GUANACASTE

Tamarindo is a beach town located in the North Pacific Coast in the Prov- ince of Guanacaste. It offers great beaches with clean, blue water and excellent surfing con- ditions and is surrounded by many green areas, originally a fishing vil- lage, it has grown to be a tourist vil- lage which is now a great area for general tourism due to the many excellent hotels, abundant choices of great places to eat and lots of fun tours and nighttime activities. In short it is a perfect place to enjoy your time, either while on vacation or as a part or a full-time resident. Attached to it at one end is a small area called Playa Langosta which has beautiful upscale homes and wonderful hotels facing

the ocean. Nearby you can find ex- cellent and challenging golfing at Ha- cienda Pinilla. With so much to do in the Tamarindo-Langosta area it has become very popular and this means excellent opportunities for investments in second homes or places for vacation rentals for the savvy investor. To the north, Playa Grande beach is a major nesting site for huge leather- back turtles, and it is a part of the 450 hectare Las Baulas National Marine Park. The mangrove-lined estuary of Tamarindo Wildlife Refuge protects animals such as howler monkeys and crocodiles. Just a few minutes away we also have the Playa Flamingo area with spectacular coastline views, it is

home to some fabulous homes and ocean-view as well as beachfront hotels. Neighbored by white sand beaches, lagoons, crystal clear wa- ter and lots of vegetation, it is a world class destination with lots of develop- ment underway. This is definitely a high-end vacation destination and it will become even more desirable with the re-launching of the Marina which is currently under development and will provide a great place from which to set off on your sports-fishing and yachting adventures. With 200+ boat slips and plans for a hotel, restau- rants and other attractions, this is a perfect time to acquire investment real estate or a place to vacation or retire at.
