Live Life On The Wild Side - Visit Costa Rica - Costa Ballena Region

Costa Ballena Puntarenas

 

Marino Ballena National Park

Costa Rica's South Pacific coast is home to Marino Ballena National Park. To preserve the rich marine life off the coast of Costa Ballena, a park was established in 1990. For the purpose of raising their young, this area is a gathering place for humpback, orca, and pilot whales. Uvita, where the main park entrance is situated, is the closest town. Tourists from all over the world head to the region to enjoy the idyllic beaches and observe the breathtaking wildlife in their natural environmant. Marino Ballena National Park has over 13,000 acres of protected wildlife area and over 300 acres of park includes ocean. The park is filled with numerous habitats, such as coral reef, rainforest, and coastal habitats- all found inside the park. Along the beachfront region, there are plenty of level hiking trails. During the dry season, boat cruises or snorkeling excursions will also transport guests to see dolphin and whales.

The Marino Ballena Park is home to a wide variety of animals. Howler, capuchin, and squirrel monkeys are a few of the land creatures. Sloths, raccoons, pizettes, and occasionally even pumas or ocelots will wander the area. Roadside hawks, white hawks, chestnut-mandibled toucans, keel-billed toucans, sea gulls, sand pipers, and pelicans are a few of the more prevalent bird species. Marine mammals like humpback, false, and pilot whales are the area's main draw. Spotted, spinner, common, and bottlenose dolphins are among the dolphin species that frequently visit the region. Additionally, the park's waters are home to olive ridley turtles and the occasional pacific green or hawksbill turtle.

 

Playa Dominical

Dominical is a small but expanding beach community located around 27 miles (44 kilometers) south of Quepos. Before reaching this well-known surf town, the coast's tumbling cliffs and the ocean's deep blue color combine to create a picturesque landscape full of tiny bays with genuinely priceless vistas. Plantations, estuaries, mangroves, and wetlands surround the relaxed seaside town. Be careful, birders—you might not want to go!

Although the charming town of Dominical is small, there are many adjacent beaches to choose from for beach lovers. Playa Dominicalito, which is close to Dominical, is a fantastic location for swimmers and surfers who are just starting out. You can see the beautiful green countryside blending with the deep blue Ocean at Punta Dominical, which is located at the southernmost point of Playa Dominicalito. It is a terrific location to see the ocean waves crash against the rocky shore below and practically every day of the year, you may view an almost flawless sunset. Even better, book a Costa Rica Vacation Rental with Find Rentals and you can view the sunset from your bedroom window!
