So you have been spotted in all of those places...Wow. Why do they need Google when they have you?
On your list you omitted the place closest to Tamarindo...Playa Grande is a beach town on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica just north of Tamarindo. Playa Grande is internationally popular as one of Costa Rica’s best surfing spots as well as being home to Parque Nacional Marino Las Baulas, a nesting ground of the largest marine reptile, the leatherback turtle. don't forget to tell them about the great border run that you mentioned.

Ooop's, that's a quote from the turtle himself,

"Places I've been spotted: "

Cut & pasted from the page.

I've actually not spotted turtles there myself!
