Tambor
Set against a backdrop of secluded golden sand, Tambor Beach is snuggled into Bahia Ballena, or Whale Bay, on the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula. Tambor is known as a gateway to the area’s biological diversity; the Nicoya Biological Corridor cradles the beach, which is also bordered by the ecological riches of Curu Wildlife Refuge.
