Beach description
The beach, stretching for several kilometers, is covered with brown sand, sometimes mixed with shingle. High waves, rolling ashore, provide ideal conditions for surfing. There is no beach infrastructure on the Dominical. On a deserted shore, lovers of surfing, parasailing, paragliding usually rest. Swimming in the waves of surf, that knock off feet, is quite uncomfortable and dangerous. It is better to choose another resort of the coastline for vacationers with children.
The beach is surrounded by mountains, covered with dense tropical greenery. Amazingly beautiful landscapes with jungle, waterfalls in the thick of vines and foliage, a long strip of sand and the ocean look especially attractive from a bird's eye view - there is an opportunity to do paragliding on the Dominical beach.
In the Dominical, conditions for budget youth rest are created. There are inexpensive hotels, hostels, campsites, night clubs, bars. Sea safaris, jeep safaris, ocean fishing, excursions to Manuel Antonio are organized.
It is possible to get to the Dominical by bus or rented car from Quepos, Liberia Airport or San Jose.
When is it better to go
The Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is a stunning destination for beach enthusiasts, offering a blend of beautiful shorelines and tropical wildlife. To make the most of your beach vacation, timing is key.
- Dry Season (December to April): This is the most popular time to visit, as the weather is sunny and rainfall is minimal, making it perfect for beach activities and wildlife watching. However, it's also the busiest period, so expect more tourists and higher prices.
- Green Season (May to November): For those who don't mind occasional rain showers, the green season offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds. Mornings are typically sunny, with rain in the afternoons or evenings, allowing for enjoyable beach time. Moreover, this period offers better deals on accommodations.
For the ideal balance of good weather and fewer tourists, consider the shoulder months of May and November. These months mark the transition between the dry and green seasons, providing a pleasant mix of sunshine and manageable tourist numbers. Ultimately, the best time to visit depends on your preferences for weather, crowds, and travel deals.
