A Special Piece of Tamarindo’s Surf History

Before Tamarindo became a popular international destination, it was a quiet surf town known for its waves. This home is located at the original beachfront site where the airplane scene from The Endless Summer II landed on the sand, a moment that introduced Tamarindo to the global surf community.

Today, guests can paddle out just steps from the house to surf the same legendary waves. Even if you don’t surf, the location offers a unique blend of ocean, nature, and history—where mornings begin with offshore waves and sunsets feel timeless.
