Playa Tamarindo

Student life

City life

One of Costa Rica's most popular coastal towns, Playa Tamarindo has a tropical climate with plenty of sun for enjoying the surrounding white beaches, national parks and breathtaking mountains. Learn Spanish in this relaxed beach town with a youthful nightlife and access to untouched nature.

Explore

On the weekends, join an EF excursion and visit an active volcano, go trekking in a rainforest, discover spectacular natural wonders, such as hot springs and waterfalls, or learn to surf along the coastline. When sun sets, practice your Spanish skills by allowing the locals, called Ticos, to teach you salsa. You will certainly never want to leave!

Volunteering

While studying in Costa Rica, put your new language skills to use as you join your classmates in local volunteer projects. Placements may include work in the areas of education, environment, community development or healthcare. This experience fulfills most service learning requirements.
