Dominical Beach

My top five Costa Rica beaches...

Many of you have heard me sing the praises of Dominicalito Beach during my time in Dominical. But did you know that Dominicalito Beach isn’t in Dominical? Dominical has its own beach, a stone’s throw away from Dominicalito as the pelican flies. My best memory is pulling up in our vehicle with a take-out lunch and rum cake for dessert. We turn on local Spanish tunes and eat while watching world-class surfers ply the warm waters. Behind the beach is a local hangout for scarlet macaws. I don’t know what macaws eat, but the fruit or nuts in the jungle canopy are plentiful in Dominical. Every local beach has cool streams that meander across the sand and into the ocean. I love to cross them with my bare, arthritic feet. But it’s the tide pools where I can really cool off and relax. Follow my feet as I highlight five Costa Rica beaches over the next three weeks…

What does the macaw hold in it’s grip?

The tide brought wood and bottle debris on this day.

What do we have here? Horse feet.

Horse play.

Sunset on Dominical Beach. In eight months we’ll return…
