Right in the heart of the National Park. You can walk at least 15 km on a lovely
sand beach without seeing a single human being.

PLAYA UVITA

Beautiful and well known beach full of services; bars, restaurants, etc.. Located near the gas station.

PLAYA HERMOSA

It reflects well its name! Kilometers and kilometers of fine sand. Vehicles can be parked  here. On this beach, the blue of the sky and gray of the sea are mixed in such a way that is always a spectacle to watch. Located between Uvita and Dominicalito, it is a good place to take the family.

PLAYA DOMINICALITO

The water there is crystalline and warm, and if you feel like eating fish on the beach and drinking an iced cold beer, you won't have to walk too far!
