Uvita Beach offers an incredible experience to visitors looking to experience Costa Rica. Located in Marino Ballena National Park, the beach is home to the famous "Whale Tail," a natural sandbar formation shaped like a whale's tail when viewed from above. Those who visit can look out for whales, dolphins, and sea turtles offshore, or take the time to relax on the sprawling white sand shoreline. Uvita is also a great place to learn how to surf, with plenty of board rentals available at adjacent Playa Hermosa. To cool off, moon-jump down Uvita Waterfall, explore El Pavon Waterfall, or take a dip in La Cusinga Lodge's secret pool. No matter what activity you decide on, don't forget to catch the gorgeous sunset over the Whale Tail from Aracari Restaurant.
