“Dominical is best known for its waves, which draw surfers from all around the world. But there’s a lot more to this quirky, laid-back and fun beach town and the surrounding stretch of coastline called the Costa Ballena than just surf. Dominical’s village centre has lots to offer in terms of restaurants of different cuisines (many catering for vegetarians and vegans), the only Microbrewery on the Southern Pacific coast. a gym, yoga classes, surf classes, spanish classes and more. The beach drive is really a beautiful sight: a sea of colour set amongst palm trees. Vendors of artisan goods, clothing, and beach items are scattered along Dominical beach creating a unique atmosphere. ”

“Just three kilometers south of Dominical lies Dominicalito, a quiet fishing village with smaller waves than its neighbor to the north. The waves here can be very kid friendly, but it’s always a good idea to watch out for rocks when entering and exiting the ocean, particularly at lower tides. Dominicalito is also a great place to purchase fresh fish when local boats arrive during the afternoons.”

“It's part of Marino Ballena National Park , its beautiful and you get a lush of South Pacific.”

“Explore the caves at low tide, or "ventanas" (means windows in Spanish), and bring a boogie board! You can drive in a park right at the beach front. Parking is cheap during the day, and the beach usually offers lifeguards and local vendors.”
