Dominicalito Beach: A Tranquil Gem Steps Away From the Jungle

If you're looking for a beautiful and tranquil beach to relax on, Dominicalito Beach is the perfect spot. Dominicalito Beach is a hidden gem located in Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula. This beach retains its raw beauty and tranquility because it has not been developed. The only elements that adorn this beach are the natural ones: the sand, the water, and the jungle. 

How to reach Playa Dominicalito

To reach Playa Dominicalito, simply walk from your room at Casa Kia Ora - it's only a short distance away and well worth the journey! Dominicalito is a small and beautiful beach, so it's easy to find.

Walking down Playa Dominicalito

Once you arrive at Dominicalito Beach, be sure to take in the natural beauty that surrounds you. The sand is grey and soft, the water is crystal clear, and the jungle provides a lush backdrop. The beach changes every day, so be sure to visit again and again. One day you could find shells or pebbles in the sand, and the next you might find a few friendly monkeys swinging through the trees.

Entrance fees and parking

Dominicalito Beach is free to visit and has ample parking. All of Costa Rica's beaches are open to the public. You don't have to pay an entrance fee to visit the beaches in Costa Rica unless they're part of a national park.

There is no specific parking at Playa Dominicalito. You may park your car next to the beach. Please be advised that this is not a guarded parking lot, so please do not leave any valuables in your vehicle.

Best time to visit Dominicalito Beach

The best time to visit Dominicalito Beach is during the dry season, which runs from November through April. However, it's worth noting that this beach can be enjoyed year-round. Dominicalito Beach is located in a temperate climate zone, so it doesn't get too hot or too cold. Plus, the ocean breeze provides some relief from the heat.

If you're looking for some peace and quiet, Dominicalito Beach is the place to go. This beach isn't as popular as others in Costa Rica, so you'll be able to relax and enjoy the natural beauty without having to worry about crowds.
