Dominical Waverider

4.8(70 reviews)

About

Dominical Waverider, on Costa Rica, operates from the Playa Dominical beach front at Tortilla Flats in the Puntarenas province. First-time visitors will find it set directly on the sand at Dominical, with the surf break in front of the address.

Guests rate Dominical Waverider 4.8 out of 5 from 70 reviews, one of the stronger showings along this stretch of coast. The beach front position means the venue sits at the southern end of the country's Pacific surfing belt, within reach of San José, Jacó and Manuel Antonio along the coastal highway. Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde lie further out for travellers building a longer itinerary.

Spanish is the official language, and Costa Rican Spanish is known for its use of vos and the phrase pura vida. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year, so conditions differ sharply depending on which shore a visitor chooses.

Costa Rica's tropical climate brings a dry season from December to April and a wet season from May to November. Active volcanoes such as Arenal, Poás and Irazú draw visitors inland, and Cerro Chirripó is the country's highest peak.
