Dominical
Located 3 hours south of San José, Playa Dominical marks the border between the Central and Southern Pacific of Costa Rica, and is incased in a very interesting naturalenclave between the mountains, the sea and the Barú River. This is an Eden where nature shows off its best finery in an profusion of wild lushness so you can live and enjoy it.
Peacefulness is the note that marks the rhythm in this small town, where the people walk slowly along the mainstreet that comes down from the leafy forest along the river until it reaches the spectacular beach full of palm trees with kilometers of waves etching towards the north, ideal for surfing as Playa Guápil, a brake similar to Dominical but lonely.
Toward the south, Playa Dominicalito enjoys warm calm waters in little corners close to paradise.
