Review:
Uvita is the ideal destination for tourists looking for an uncrowded beachside experience.
Located just 11 miles south of Dominical, this tropical oasis is charmingly unspoiled, offering a serene atmosphere.
It’s warm, calm, crystal-clear waters are perfect for snorkeling, swimming, and offshore diving.
Sea life sightings are commonplace here; from May to October there are hawksbill and olive ridley sea turtles, and from December to April migrating humpback whales can be seen.
Hiking, horseback riding, scuba diving, and surfing at Playa Uvita are common activities.
There are also kayak tours of the surrounding estuaries and mangroves as well as waterfalls nearby.
