This is a closer photo of the small beach that is visible on the left side of yesterday's photo of Playa Flamingo Bay. The terrain in this area offers both nice views and a chance to have small tropical beaches all to oneself. There are pros and cons to the differences between beaches such as Tamarindo and Langosta or beaches such as this one. The solitude and privacy of being all alone on a beach is restful. It is harder to reach these beaches, however, and it is not possible to take walks along the beach. There are also no facilities for at the beach in this area.
My wife and I decided that we preferred to have a condo right on the beach in Tamarindo and Langosta so we could take long walks along the beach in the day, and short walks to dozens of restaurants in the evening.
This week on our Viva la Voyage travel photo site we are showing unusual photos of the monuments of Washington, D.C. in the glow of sunrise.
I think you were smart about your choice. Long walks and beach activity is an added benefit in Tamarindo.
ReplyDeleteThese are postcard shots! Or should be used in travel brochures! Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you get lots of physical activity...one day you're swinging from jungle vines and the next your taking long walks on the beach...
Have a great active day today! :-)
What a beautiful area you live in.
