Gateway to Costa Rica's beloved Pacific surf town.

Location

Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Tamarindo Airport (IATA: TNO, ICAO: MRTM) is a small domestic airport serving the popular beach and surf destination of Tamarindo in the Guanacaste province of Costa Rica. It handles light aircraft and small regional turboprop flights connecting the area to San José and other domestic points. The airport plays an important role in supporting tourism in the Nicoya Peninsula region, where Tamarindo is one of the most visited beach communities. Its short runway limits operations to smaller aircraft, making it a general aviation and commuter facility rather than a full commercial hub. Ground access to the town of Tamarindo is straightforward, as the airport is located very close to the beachside community, minimizing transfer times for arriving visitors.
