Third Annual Tamarindo, Costa Rica AA Roundup — August 7–9, 2026

August 7–9, 2026

Slow mornings. Honest meetings. New friends. Welcome to Tamarindo.

📸 The official photo gallery

We'd love to show you all the fun…

…but we take our anonymity seriously. So here's the entire photo album, exactly as approved. 👇

  • CLASSIFIED
    Sunrise yoga. Someone fell over.
  • REDACTED
    Surf lessons + one heroic wipeout.
  • TOP SECRET
    The ice cream social got competitive.
  • CONFIDENTIAL
    Saturday night. We've said too much.

Tradition Eleven, and all that. 🤐 What happens at the Roundup stays at the Roundup — the sunsets, the belly laughs, the friendships you didn't see coming. You'll just have to make those memories yourself.

A Note From the Group

A weekend away, together.

For three days every August, the Wave of Sobriety Group opens the doors of Trio Restaurant — right on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica — to anyone in AA who wants to come share a long, easy weekend with us.

There are speaker meetings and step meetings, yes. And also yoga at sunrise, surf lessons in the afternoon, an ice cream social on Friday night, and plenty of time to just sit by the ocean and breathe.

Whether this is your first roundup or your tenth — whether you're flying in from across the country or walking down the beach — you'll find a seat at our table.

The Venue

Trio Restaurant, right on the beach.

Trio is our home for the weekend — an open-air restaurant and event space a short walk from the surf. Meals on one side, the concert hall for our big speaker meetings on the other, and the bar area kept open as our hospitality suite all weekend long.

Take a quick video tour of the space, then drop a pin so you know exactly where you're headed when you land.
