Playa Uvita is a great destination for visitors seeking respite away from the crowds. Located in the coastal region of Costa Ballena and just 17 km south of Dominical, this small town offers beautiful beaches, stunning scenery, and incredible wildlife. Home to Marino Ballena National Park, Playa Uvita is well-known for its humpback whales that migrate through the area from mid-July to October. Visitors can explore the vibrant marine life by snorkeling and scuba diving or simply take in the majestic views of the rugged shoreline, natural rock formations, hidden coves, and jungle covered mountains. Nature lovers can hike trails in the park, visit Uvita waterfalls, or head over to Arco Beach, accessible only at low tide, while adventurers may enjoy the offerings of Bodhi Surf + Yoga camp where they can practice surfing and yoga or take part in the renowned Envision Festival.
