The engine sputters, a wake of dust rises, and the coast opens up: you push through humid forest, cross a shallow river, and suddenly the Pacific appears wide and raw. This three‑hour ATV tour out of Tamarindo threads back‑country trails and cowboy ranchland to three quieter beaches — Playa Mina, Bahía de los Piratas (the south end of Conchal), and a sheltered stretch near Puerto Viejo — each with reef‑cut shorelines that invite a cooling swim.
