Six pockets, not one “Tamarindo.”

The Gold Coast is a string of different lives. Start with the town that matches how you actually want to spend a Tuesday.

Tamarindo

Walkable surf town, restaurants, and the Gold Coast hub.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 45–55 minutes

Langosta

Quieter beach just south of town, larger lots, fewer scooters.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 50–60 minutes

Playa Grande

National-park beach, turtles, and a slower Gold Coast.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 50–60 minutes

Avellanas

A dirt-road surf pocket with serious long-stay energy.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 70–85 minutes

Huacas

Inland value, bigger lots, and a straight shot to several beaches.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 40–50 minutes

Las Catalinas

A walkable beach town built on purpose — plazas, trails, and lock-and-leave.

Drive from Liberia (LIR) · 35–45 minutes
