Playa Dominical -- aka Dominical Beach - and Drake Bay are two of Costa Rica's most picturesque destinations.

Most famed as a Costa Rica surfing beach, Playa Dominical is located on Costa Rica's Central Pacific Coast between Manuel Antonio and the Osa Peninsula. Not far from Dominical Beach, Drake Bay is located at the top of the Osa Peninsula in Southern Costa Rica. For now, Drake Bay is only accessible by boat, and serves as a base to explore Corcovado National Park and Isla del Cano.
