The sarong is one of the most versatile garments you can take to the beach. Lightweight, easy to fold, and very practical, it can transform into a skirt, dress, or top in a matter of seconds.
That's why it has become a staple for tropical destinations and the beach style we see on many beaches around the world.
In many beach destinations in Latin America —from Tamarindo to other tropical coasts— where the climate is warm all year round and life revolves around the sea, the sarong is part of the natural beach look thanks to its lightness and versatility.
Soft, eco-friendly, and lightweight, Tag Aloha sarongs are imbued with the Aloha spirit, evoking the freedom and relaxed energy of life by the sea.
A sarong is one of the most versatile garments you can take to the beach. With a single lightweight fabric, you can create different styles depending on how you tie or wrap it.
Although there are many ways to wear it, these are five of the easiest and most practical ways to wear a sarong at the beach.
This is the most well-known way to wear a sarong.
Just wrap it around your waist and tie a side knot at the hip. You can easily adjust the length depending on whether you prefer a shorter or longer style.
It's perfect for covering your swimsuit when you leave the beach or walk around town.
This style transforms the sarong into a lightweight dress.
Place the sarong behind your back, take the two top corners, cross them over your chest to form an X, and tie them behind your neck. The result is a fresh and very flattering dress for tropical climates.
For a more elegant look, you can wear the sarong as a tube skirt.
Wrap the sarong around your waist and, instead of making a visible knot, roll the ends over themselves and tuck them in. This creates a cleaner and more fitted silhouette.
It's a perfect option for transitioning from the beach to a beachfront restaurant.
The sarong can also be transformed into a light top.
Tie two corners of the sarong over one shoulder and the other two under the opposite arm. This asymmetrical style is modern and works very well combined with shorts or a light skirt.
Another simple way is to wear the sarong as a strapless dress.
Pass the sarong behind your back, bring the ends to the front, cross them, and tie a knot at the chest or behind the neck. This style is ideal for walking on the beach or enjoying the sunset.
In places like Tamarindo, where the climate is warm all year round, natural fibers are especially comfortable.
Tag Aloha sarongs, made from 100% organic cotton, stand out for their softness, lightness, and unique colors that elevate any beach look.
At Costa Blanca Colectiva, a jewelry and accessories store located in Tamarindo, you can find this collection designed for the relaxed Pacific style of Costa Rica.

The sarong is one of the most versatile garments for beach destinations. It takes up little space, adapts to different styles, and can accompany you from the sand to a sunset stroll.
Lightweight, practical, and easy to combine, it becomes a perfect ally for enjoying the sea in style.
