The little-used highway from Dominical to Uvita, 15km to the
south, has recently been paved, but the coastal village's previous
isolation is still evident. The pebble and sand beach, lapped
by gentle waves (no surfers here) looks like it has never seen
a tourist's beach towel. If you are looking for an isolated tropical
paradise, Uvita is the place. Although the town has many available
cabinas, most residents are Costa Rican families who derive much
of their livelihood from small farming plots. A wooden sign on
the beach indicates the northern boundary of Parque National
Marino Ballena, where tortoises, whales, and coral reefs provide
a few intrepid visitors with uncensored views of Costa Rica's
marine life. Hostels in Uvita |
