Tambor

Costa Rica

Quiet bay town on the southern Nicoya Peninsula, wrapped around calm, swimmable Bahía Ballena. Home to the peninsula's little airstrip — the fast way in from San José — and the gateway to Montezuma and Santa Teresa. Whales pass offshore in season, and the gentle bay suits families, kayakers, and long barefoot walks at low tide.
