Surfing
Costa Rica's Playa Dominical
|
| Break
Description |
| Scattered
beachbreak peaks along a 1.5 km beach. Very fun
waves up to a little overhead, it closes out when
it gets bigger than that.
Very
fun, rippable beachbreak lefts and rights for all
abilities of surfer.
On
the North end of the beach, in front of the Baru
Rivermouth is a little bigger and more current.
Also be carefull of the rocks at low tide.
In
front of cabinas is where most people go surfing.
At
the south end of the beach is Roca Verde, maybe
a little smaller and cleaner, with less people.
There
are usually a couple people surfing in Dominical,
but the length of the beach spreads the crowd out. |
| The
Area |
Map
of Dominical
Dominical is a great, easy going little surf town.
There are several places to stay right on the
beach where you can see the surfing from your
room, and everyone is surfer friendly.
Good
place to chill out and surf beachbreak.

| Catching
it Good |
| Best
on Mid tide going low, for the hollowness, but fun
on all tides.

| Green
Iguana Surf Camp Excellent surf camp. They can
pick you up at the airport and drop you off afterward,
7-10 day trips. They really know the area well,
including all the secret spots, and they have a
lot of other activities too. Highly reccomended,
they handle everything for you!!!
Tortilla
Flats: This two story hotel is in prime location:
right on the beach. You can be dripping wet drying
off in your room, still looking at waves. About
$10/person/night. Inexpensive and recommended.
Cabinas
San Clemente: Next door to Tortilla Flats, same
view, only some rooms have A/C and it's a little
nicer than Tortilla Flats. About $25-$30/night/room.
Hotel
Roca Verde: Located on the south end of Dominical,
on the break. It also features a huge open air restaraunt
and a surf shop. Of Friday nights they turn the
place into a discotech, best nightlife around. Rooms
are $65+/night, but plush. |
| Other
Attractions in the Area |
| Both
the Nauyaca Waterfalls and the Pozo Azul Waterfalls
are very close, and spectacular. |
