Costa Rica Surfing
Dominical and the surrounding beaches are the ideal destination for Costa Rica surfing. With waves usually 3-5 feet and often bigger, different surfing spots for everyone from beginners to professionals, and year-round warm water (70-80 degrees), Dominical is the most consistent surfing spot in Costa Rica. Surfers can also enjoy a good variety of waves year-round, left and right breakers, barrels, etc. Several surf schools provide lessons for all levels of surfing, from beginner to advanced. Lessons may or may not include equipment. There are several well-stocked surf shops where all equipment and accesories may be bought or rented. Although surfing is popular among tourists and locals, Dominical is never crowded. But above all, it is the friendly and laid-back atmosphere that makes Dominical the mecca of Costa Rica surfing.

Sport Fishing in Costa Rica
The Dominical area is world famous for its sportfishing. Billfishing is very popular, especially from December to June, with world records broken nearly every year. Numerous outfitters offer well-equipped boats and experienced, bilingual captains to provide both the rookie and the experienced angler excellent offshore fishing for marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, and dorado. The Dominical area also includes the second largest mangrove system on the Pacific coast of Central America, providing some of the best flyfishing in the world. Inshore action includes roosterfish, snook, snapper, and sea bass.

Rafting / Kayaking in Costa Rica
The Savegre River in the mountains northwest of Dominical provides class II/III/IV rapids and a chance to enjoy great swimming holes within dense primary jungle surrounding the river. The Naranjo River is a class III and IV river for physically fit, excitement-seeking rafters. The river drops steeply from the mountains through a beautiful jungle gorge, taking participants on a wild ride to sea level, passing nearby farmlands and palm plantations. Ocean kayaking is also popular along the coast south of Dominical, where kayakers can travel through shoreline caves (depending on tidal conditions) and view pre-Columbian inscriptions on the walls.

Snorkeling / Diving in Costa Rica
Pristine coral reefs, together with an abundance of spectacular tropical sea life make for some of the best scuba diving in Costa Rica. About an hour from Dominical, Cano Island offers some of the most exciting diving within reach of the mainland. Porpoises, schools of manta rays, and white-tip reef sharks are commonly seen on most dives. Water temperatures in the Pacific are typically in the upper 70s to low 80s throughout the year.
