DOMINICAL |
| |
The once quiet fishing village of DOMINICAL , 44km south of Quepos,
was until quite recently largely undiscovered, though since the paving
of the road here it has seen increasing numbers of foreign visitors,
lured by the beauty of the surroundings, the romantic sunsets and the
get-away-from-it-all atmosphere. Wide and long, the palm-fringed, dark-sand
beach is postcard-pretty, though often deserted except when surfers
flock to chase the big waves. Snorkelling is good here, too, and there
are a couple of pretty waterfalls nearby. Though it seems poised to
become the country's next Manuel Antonio, development remains - for the
time being at least - relatively low-key.
From San José the fastest route to Dominical is via the sleepy town of
San Isidro de el General, on the Carretera Interamericana, from where
there are reasonable bus connections; from Guanacaste and the Central
Pacific, you'll do best to take the road south from Quepos. Buses from
Quepos arrive at around 6.30am and 3pm daily, and continue to San Isidro
(2hr).
