Tamarindo Feria!!! EVERY SATURDAY IN TOWN

On your visit to Tamarindo, Costa Rica you have to make sure to check out our local farmer’s market in town! The Tamarindo Feria is a one-stop shop for all things local including fresh produce and seafood, yummy baked goods, handmade arts and crafts, live music, and even fresh-cut flowers! Each year the market has grown, and this year they have expanded to a new location with plenty of room for the local food truck (make sure to try Eat My Taco) and plenty of parking. The market is open every Saturday from 8am-1pm, but the best time to stop by is in the morning for a cup of coffee and fresh pastry before it gets too hot outside. During your stay at Sueño del Mar Bed & Breakfast, make sure to ask about the market, and we will be happy to give you directions!







Our beachfront hotel in Playa Langosta is the perfect setting for your next Costa Rica vacation.
