More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low-slung ATV idles against the heat—tires hissing on packed dirt as the Pacific wind teases spray from a nearby cove. You push forward and the jungle changes pace: mangroves give way to scrubby hills, the trail narrows and then opens onto a white-sand crescent that feels briefly undiscovered. On this two-hour route out of Tamarindo, riders trade asphalt for rocky ridgelines and secluded beaches, with 2–3 short stops to stretch, swim, or photograph the coast.
