Playa Dominical

Green Iguana Surf Camp is located along Costa Rica's southern Pacific beaches, about a third of the way up the coast from Panama. Though Playa Dominical is famous mainly for its beautiful beaches and super-consistent, well-formed waves, the area is also known among seasoned travelers as one of Costa Rica's top beach destinations, and is still relatively undeveloped. We're not in the heart of what could be called "typical tourism" here in Costa Rica. Instead of the high rise hotels and American fast food restaurants that are typical of the more crowded northern and central Costa Rican surf towns, in Playa Dominical the rainforest continues right on down out of the mountains and virtually covers the town. To put it simply, we have that perfect blend of surfing, beautiful beaches, and small amount of development that people only really get to discover once they've been here and experienced it. Playa Dominical is a rustic place that offers plenty of solitude and privacy, and there is certainly never the scenario of stepping over bodies to try and find a spot to put your towel down!

Dominical has some great local restaurants, with some of the best located right in the Green Iguana locations. There are several small surf shops in town for all your surfing needs, where you can buy Headhunters or Zinka brand sunblocks, which are highly recommended for surfing. In Dominical there are also several small supermarkets and fruit stands, a bank with an ATM, some good restaurants, and everything is within walking distance of each other.
