Avellanas/Little Hawaii A beautiful Avellanas Sunset
Avellanas is another of the satellite beaches of Tamarindo. It is about 10 km south and about a 25 min. ride. avellanas is made up of a series, about 5, of rock reefbreaks and a rivermouth on a 2 mile stretch of beach. The reefs produce semi-hollow rights and left that can be very fun. Because it picks up more swell than Tamarindo, crowds get spread out among the different breaks and one can often find an uncrowded peak. As is true for all the Tamarindo spots, Avellanas breaks best on a mid tide with a south/southwest swell and an east wind. It is a sand and rock bottom with exposed rock at low tide. It is at is biggest during the summer, May through October or November. To get there, drive south about 10 km and look for signs for Cabinas Las Olas. Follow the signs.
