Dominical is located only a 15 min drive from Uvita, and it's a smaller beach town with great hippie and surf vibes. The beach is stunning, and the town has cute little cafes like Mono Congo. We like Dominical a bit better than Uvita, and it's worth a visit or can be a different option for staying close to the attractions of Uvita if you have a rental car.
Also, try the vegan ice cream from Mama Toucan Organic supermarket.
