Tambor is most noted for its breathtaking bay named Bahia Bellena, or "Whale Bay", which is embraced by 4 miles of palm lined sandy beach. Every year whales migrate to the area to give birth, mate and nurture their new offspring from the marine habitat found here. All five species of mangrove in Costa Rica are represented in and around Bahia Ballena. As one would imagine, snorkeling and diving are popular activities, especially among the coral reef communities of nearby Tortuga Island, or "Turtle Island". This special place in Costa Rica is close to two National Parks in this Southern Nicoya region: Curu National Wildlife Refuge and Cabo Blanco Absolute National Park. Wildlife is abundant everywhere, making such activities as bird watching quite popular. Hiking, fishing, horseback riding, and various water sports and golf are popular.
In the last few years Tambor has become an increasingly popular travel destination for foreigners and Ticos alike. Two large 4 star hotel developments: Barcelo Playa Tambor Resort & Casino and Los Delfines Golf and Country Club are located here. The latter offers a luxurious 9-hole golf course along with world class amenities.
The Tambor Airport, which is the only local airport in the entire southern Nicoya Peninsula, is just 10 minutes away from these resorts. For one considering buying real estate here, Tambor is a sound investment and ideal for those who enjoy living a Country Club lifestyle.
