The photo below, taken from a hill above the beachside town of
Tamarindo, includes the little estuary that divides Tamarindo from
Playa Grande and the entire stretch of Playa Grande beach. It is about
a fifteen minute beach walk from Palm Beach into Tamarindo ending in a
2 minute water taxi ride (or you can drive it in about the same amount
of time)
Of course, Playa Grande is best know for its amazing surfing waves best
around hide tide any time of year. Just look it up on any surf
site - or better yet, rent 'Endless Summer II' great movie and Playa
Grande stars in the opening scenes!
 Playa Grande as seen from Tamarindo Hill
 Grande is 200 meters wide at low tide  5,000 miles of pure open water seems like it's halfway the way to the sun  3.5 of glorious empty beach  the show doesn't end with the setting sun...  but all good things in life must end....and so does the beach, eventually!
