Dominical Beach: Day and Night


Dominical is my happy place. There are many happy places to be savored in Costa Rica, and many beaches with my footprints seared across the sand. It would be hard to pick my favorite beach: Ventenas has mysterious sea caves that sound like the whole ocean is trapped inside them, Whale's Tail has a secret tail, (depending on the tide) Baru Beach is remote, infinite and wild, Dominicalito is full of playful tide pools, rustic fishing boats and weathered wood and rocks, Dominical is home to surfers and playful dogs. 

I like to sample them all. 
Follow my feet...


Obviously, this is an alien pod ready to zap me with a toxic tongue - or something like that. 


Shadow play.


Watcher in the rocks.






Watchers at sunset.


I always get a money shot. I was trying to trap sunset through the opening. Instead, I captured both, alluring sides.



The sand gets rocky near the Baru River.



I've barely scratched the sand of our last trip. 

Stay tuned...

Sharon - always a delight to follow your feet ... so many favorites in this post. The little shell with the hole ... the shot with the rippling light on the waves ... and the money shot - it truly is a MONEY shot! Thanks for sharing so many of Earth's treasures with Mosaic Monday!

I like your idea of getting a money photo in each place - money is always interesting. Looks like such a brilliant trip with empty beaches and lovely sunsets and the shadow play!

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the golden light in the sky shots. I can see why it would be nearly impossible to pick a favorite beach!
