TAMBOR COSTA RICA LOCAL ATTRACTIONS
Tambor, shown in the panoramic photo above, is a picture-perfect
sandy beach along the inside rim of a nearly circular bay. This is
an ideal spot for families with young children, because there are no
rip tides and very small waves. In the early decades of the 1900's,
Tambor was where the barges would dock to load up with giant logs
from the ancient jungles of the peninsula. Teams of men and oxen
were paid one colone a day to drag the trees out for shipping to San
Jose.
Now, Tambor has become a well-known family vacation spot. It's
conveniently located just a few minutes from the area's regional
airport. There are many restaurants, two nearby golf courses, and
its easy to book snorkeling and sightseeing trips to Tortuga Island.
Tambor is town on the shores of a
gorgeous circular bay called Bahia Ballena. It was named this for
the whales that used to come to the bay, but pollution and the human
population have driven the whales out into nearby waters. Tambor has
a small marina, and because Tambor Bay is protected from large
waves, is a good place for boaters. Its gentle surf is also ideal
for families with small children.
Tambor has a very different culture from the other beach towns on
the southern Nicoya Peninsula. One realtor advertises it by saying
"Looking for sex, drugs, and rock and roll? Well Tambor isn't for
you..." The foreigners who have settled here are mostly from the
United States, and an older crowd. The area developed earlier than
the other beach towns, so there are many well settled developments
such as Los Delphines and Tango Mar. Tambor has at least two golf
courses, and the area's only casino.
This area is also known for crooked real estate deals, so be very
careful if you plan to invest here. Ask around to find out who can
be trusted.
