Last Sunset in Dominicalito

I never tired of the view.

Whether I was waking up and looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom, sitting at the kitchen table, or standing on the deck, my eyes couldn't stray from the jungle that surrounded us, with a gap that offered a window below, to the Pacific Ocean.

For the first four nights in Dominicalito, we were right by the ocean for sunsets. On the first evening, we pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant, it's view looking southward along the coast. The glowing coastline, though it didn't look toward the sun, was still spectacular.

Our second evening was spent in Uvita, and we were once again at a restaurant during sunset. Again, though we couldn't see the sun, the sky above was colourful.

We decided to stay close to our Airbnb for the third and fourth evenings, driving across the highway and down to Playa Dominicalito. The sunsets, both nights, were spectacular.

Because our view from our Airbnb was amazing throughout the day, we wondered how sunset would appear, so on our last night in Dominicalito—indeed, our last night on the Pacific—we stayed in and gazed off the balcony.

The view did not disappoint.

Today, we drive inland, heading up in the mountains, once again, to Quetzal National Park, with our friends in tow.

We're down to the final days of our vacation. Of all the places we've been, Dominicalito is the one place whose view I'm going to miss the most when I wake up.
