The most famous part of Uvita is the Whale Tail, a sandbank that has the shape of a whale’s tail. It is located at Uvita Beach, in the Marino Ballena Nationalpark. It’s a long and stunning, wild beach that you can walk along and jungly trails where you can spot wildlife like monkeys, birds, and iguanas. The entrance fee for the park is 6 USD per person.

We recommend coming first in the morning when the park opens at 8 am or at sunset. Check the tides because the whale tail is only visible at low tide; otherwise, it’s covered by the waves.
