The beach we kayaked to fromour beach. We were told it was a nice Kayakride away.....try 5 miles! It was a great day to be out on the water though and the scenery was well worth the sore muscles! We arrived on the deserted beach only to find out that it was the beach were El Tamarindo Golf Course and Resort are located. It is supposedly one of the best golf courses in the world. Apparently it costs about 600 US per night to stay and 300-400 for a round of golf.....wish that were in pesos!
