GUANACASTE BEACHES: Tambor Beach and Wale Bay
Bahia Ballena or Wale Bay is located at the southern part of the Nicoya Peninsula, where the Pacific meets the Gulf of Nicoya. This large bay is an extraordinary place to spend some comfortable long beach vacations. The beach is approximately 2 miles long; there are neither tides nor surf so it is a safe place.
There are two little towns on each end of the Bay, Pochote and Tambor. Two rivers flow into the ocean here, a large estuary in Pochote and Panica River in Tambor town. The main attraction in the bay is probably the large Barcelo Playa Tambor Beach Resort and Los Delfines Golf and Country Club. Both offer the All Inclusive System.
They have 5 restaurants, 550 + rooms, three large swimming pools, activities and entertainment center, diving, snorkeling, theater, shopping center and golf course, tennis courts, basketball court, taxis and private airport, a large 6000 acre farm covered with tropical dry forest and a cattle and horse ranch. Tambor is truly beautiful; we recommend this to anyone seeking for a comfortable beach vacation.
