Tambor combines a long beach with a range of activities and different ways to get there. To help you decide whether it is the right destination, consider three questions: Does Playa Tambor suit the kind of beach stay you have in mind, which activities appeal to you, and which route works best for your trip?
Playa Tambor: Beach and swimming
Playa Tambor is a long beach with dark gray sand and is suitable for swimming. If you take the beach and swimming opportunities into account when choosing a destination, this gives you a concrete point to consider. The beach’s length and sand color shape its character, while its suitability for swimming adds a practical consideration for planning your trip. You can make the beach a focus of your stay without overlooking the other things to do in Tambor. Especially if you are weighing up different interests, it is worth considering time at the beach separately from other activities.
Getting to Tambor
Tambor can be reached directly by air, by ferry to Tambor, or by taking the Puntarenas ferry to Paquera and continuing by car. The three options differ mainly in their legs: with the ferry to Tambor, the ferry journey ends at your destination, while the route from Puntarenas to Paquera includes a further drive by car. Flying is the third option. When comparing routes, treat the ferry crossing to Paquera and the subsequent drive as parts of a single journey. Before you leave, check the current ferry schedules and factor in the onward drive from Paquera.
Activities for different interests
Activities in Tambor include hiking, horseback riding, various water sports, golf, and offshore sport fishing. You can group them by type: hiking and horseback riding are land-based activities, water sports and offshore sport fishing are water-based options, and golf offers another distinct sport. Before your trip, you can consider whether land-based activities, water sports, golf, or offshore sport fishing will be the deciding factor. This distinction helps you weigh up different interests rather than letting a single activity define your entire stay. At an earlier event in Playa Tambor, participants put on a show featuring acrobatics and landings after 3 p.m.
