Why Tamarindo Beach is the Perfect Backdrop for Family Portraits

Playa Tamarindo is one of the most popular beaches in Guanacaste. This is because there is a lot to do nearby. From amazing restaurants, to a lively night scene, Tamarindo is a great hub for your Costa Rica Adventure. If you are visiting as a family, the beach is also a great spot for your family portraits.

Why Choose Tamarindo beach for your family photos

If you are already staying in Tamarindo, it is the easiest spot for a family portrait session. The middle part of the beach can get really busy, but on either end of the beach, there are always less people, so it has a more intimate feel. It also has a lot of greenery which makes for a nice balance with the photos with the beach background.

Perfect Timing

Also, if you plan an early morning session, there will hardly be anyone on the beach, just a few surfers or people walking their dog. During the dry season there can also be some very dramatic sunsets.

Accessibility

If you are staying right in front of the beach, than you can just walk to the north or south sides of the beach. Or if you are staying a bit further from the beach, you can easily drive your rental car or golf cart. At these spots there is always parking.

Weather Considerations

Guanacaste enjoys some of Costa Rica’s most reliable weather, with a dry season from December through April that’s ideal for wedding planning. Even during the green season, mornings at Tamarindo are often sunny and clear.
