Playa Dominical

Playa Dominical is considered by both Ticos and Tourists to be the most consistent wave in Costa Rica. Wave heights rarely drop below waist-high with ideal sandbars producing quality lefts, rights, and plenty of good barrells. Playa Dominical is the focal point for surfing in the area and normally sees between ten and thirty surfers in the water in the high seasons (Dec-Mar and Jun-Aug).

The Point

The Point also known as "Cambutal" is a long, peeling lefthand reefbreak that is rarely too small to surf, and can handle swells up to 15 feet and larger without closing out. When small it's a great wave for beginners, but when it get's big the point is best left to experienced surfers. There's also an "unnamed" wave across the bay-it's a long easy righthander,just right for beginners.

Playa Ventanas

Playa Ventanas (Windows Beach) get's it's name from the beautiful sea caves that line the north and south ends of the beach. The two caves on the northend extend from the beach out to the ocean, a distance of about 50 meters, and during certain tides create a sort of "blowhole" effect. Pressure from each wave blows a large cloud of steam out onto the beach. The caves on the south end of the beach tunnel deeply into the rock, and inspire thoughts of hidden pirate treasure.
