Tamarindo Beach & Ocean Estates offers an incredible fishing experience.  At both ends of our island, there are communities based solely on fishing.  The fish include sailfish (conventional or fly tackle), mahi mahi,  and near shore rooster fish(one of the most exciting game fish). Rooster fish are common on the ruggest shorelines 20 minutes south.  You will find tuna, and snapper.  The estuary in the back of the island is teaming with red snapper.  We have shrimp bait(from the shrimp farms in Salines Grandes) and bait the line....two minutes is the maximum waiting time for a red snapper at Tamarindo Beach. 

The offshore big game fishing is very good.  Hunt and find sailfish, mahi mahi, wahoo, tuna, grouper and marlin in blue water.   We look forward to organizing our charter service to complement the hotel activites.     

Tamarindo Beach is ideal for walking (no hills), bike riding (on the wet sand), and horseback riding.  Surfing and boogie boarding are quite excellent. There is a surf break at the south end of the island and another at the mid point of the island.  Especially nice, is the fact that there are no rocks to land on.....just sand! 

The estuary & river at the back of the island offers excellent snapper fishing, boating, kayaking and more. The mangroves are a haven for wildlife and nature.  Kayaking or boat tours up the estuary systems are a lot of fun.

Twenty five kilometers away is Leon.  The vibrant city offers all the amenities and activities you would expect in a city of 400,000 residents. Leon has live theatre, art galleries, museums, colonial churches (eighteen to be exact), parks, street vendors, and colonial buildings!
