Just 20 meters from the sand in the heart of Tamarindo, Surf Shack Burgers & Wings is a turnkey restaurant and bar offered for sale with a secure lease in place. Established in 2015 and known as a local favorite among residents and returning visitors, this beachside business combines a highly visible town-center location with the equipment, furnishings, permits, and systems needed for a smooth transition to new ownership.
Offered at $340,000 (Motivated sellers), the sale includes 100% of the restaurant’s commercial equipment and furniture. The business is located at the Tamarindo Circle, also known as La Rotunda, along one of the town’s busiest and most walkable areas. Its position approximately 20 meters from Tamarindo Beach places it within the daily flow of beachgoers, residents, tourists, and visitors enjoying the restaurants, shops, and services of this coastal destination.
The restaurant accommodates approximately 70 guests across indoor and outdoor dining areas. The layout includes a fully equipped commercial kitchen, a dedicated bar, customer seating, and a children’s zone with a playground. The indoor and open-air spaces support casual dining while preserving the relaxed atmosphere associated with the Surf Shack brand. Furniture is included, with an estimated value of approximately $60,000, together with the equipment required to continue operating without the delays and expense of a new build-out.
A newly renewed five-year lease secures the location through 2031, providing the incoming owner with continuity in central Tamarindo. The active liquor license and current permits are included as part of the transfer, allowing the next operator to focus on staffing, service, and growth rather than beginning the licensing process from the ground up. Fiber-optic internet, utilities, patio area, and on-site maintenance support add practical advantages for operations.
Surf Shack Burgers & Wings is an established operating business with a loyal customer base and a recognizable presence near the beach. The existing concept, complete setup, active licenses, secure lease, and central location may appeal to an experienced restaurateur or a first-time business owner seeking a streamlined entry into Costa Rica’s hospitality market.
To support the transition, the current owners are offering two months of hands-on assistance to introduce the new owner to vendor relationships, operating routines, and daily processes. This structured handover can help preserve continuity and reduce the learning curve associated with purchasing an existing restaurant.
With its beachside location, established name, fully equipped commercial kitchen, included furniture, active liquor license, and lease secured through 2031, Surf Shack presents an opportunity to step into day-one operations in the center of Tamarindo.
