Isla Capitan

With this photo I am returning to the beach at Tamarindo, after showing photos of a typical Tico town inland about an hour from Tamarindo. This photo shows the Capitan island at the southern end of Tamarindo Bay.

This island and the reef that stretches between the island and San Francisco point provides shelter from the ocean's waves for the southern end of Tamarindo bay.

I have not been out to this little island, although it does not look like it would be too difficult to swim out there. There is not much there, however.
