Dominical has been described a beautiful gem still in its original condition. Actually a good conservation program from the local Dominical community protects this area and try to keep it in pristine condition.

The beach is well known for good surfing, sometimes waves reach up to ten feet. The near beaches around such us Matapalo, Baru, Dominicalito and Hermosa have very similar shore and beach conditions.

Due to the international community, Dominical has a good tourist infrastructure organized. However all around the area, there are plenty of small lodges, hotels, cabins, vacation rental homes, etc, that cater to all tastes and budgets.
