Surfers in town

It is common to see surfers walking in the middle of town, as I mentioned a few days ago.  The beach is behind the row of shops at the end of this street, so these surfers have only about a block left before they reach their destination and start surfing.

The street on which these surfers are walking is supposed to be paved within the next few months.  The new buildings, street paving, storm water drainage, and other improvements have been transitioning Tamarindo from a fishing village and funky surfing town into an international resort, which Forbes Magazine described last year as Costa Rica's most popular beach resort.

  1. I wish this photo was of my husband and I. That would mean that we are in Costa Rica. Have a great rest of the day!

  2. Because the two other surfers are going to the beach with an "instructor" does that mean they are just learning?
