Dominical
A little beach town on Costa Rica's South Pacific coast, Dominical is known for large, consistent surf that draws wave-riders year-round. The town sits where mountain terrain meets the ocean, and has developed a café and restaurant scene beyond what its size might suggest. Originally a fishing village, it now serves as a base for exploring the surrounding coast, with the villages of Uvita and Ojochal to the south and a UNESCO World Heritage site in the wider region.
