​Matapalo Beach is just a short 5 minute drive from Dominical (20 minute from CDR). Unlike Dominical's rocky beach shores, Matapalo has very nice smooth sand for barefoot strolls down the (what seems to be almost endless) north or south direction.

This is a wonderful beach to enjoy a relaxing day, the waves are mellow and you can drive up or down the beach to find a more private location if you desire.
