The waves are the immediate draw at Dominical Beach, where watching surfers can be as worthwhile as entering the water. A waterfall trip and views from the nearby hills broaden the visit, but each needs its own time rather than being treated as part of a quick beach stop.
What to look for
Large waves at Dominical Beach
Hills overlooking the South Pacific coast
Nauyaca Waterfalls on a separate inland excursion
Useful to know
Check surf conditions before getting in the water; the beach is known for powerful waves.
Plan Nauyaca Waterfalls as a separate outing rather than a short detour from the sand.
