Just about 90 minutes down the coast from Tamarindo is the smaller, yet no-less delicious town of Samara. For being such a tiny surfer destination, this place had an incredible selection of restaurants serving fresh, healthy foods.
Our Airbnb here was a delightful quad of rentals, of which only two were occupied. The natural pool in the middle was gorgeous and a great retreat from the intense Costa Rican sun.
Shaina and our huge vegan lunch on her birthday!
Ridiculously good Italian restaurant Mama Gui
Vegan food on the beach at Luv Burger
A surprise find in Samara was the Salumi & Formaggi shop! These friendly Italians have an incredible deli and wine selection. We did a meat & cheese charcuterie board for Shaina’s birthday from here, bought great wine here each night, and had sandwiches made for our drive back to San Jose when we left.
Security is a bit tight
One of everything please
Our slice of heaven
We drove only about 10 minutes south to Playa Carrillo for a nice walk.
Where's Lindsey?
