» Dominical & Uvita Beaches, CR
Domincal's beach
Doug's office on Domincal's beach
walking back to Tigger
camera friendly iguana
playing good samaritan in Domincal
park map on which you can see the whale tale spit
at low tide, it's a long walk to the water's edge
approaching the whale tail spit
the tide begins to cover the spit as it comes in
Fran standing in the last dry spot before it's covered
looking back down the spit as it begins to get covered
rocks and a granite column on the spit
getting deeper on the way back
water from the left side hits water from the right
coconut trees that are being eroded by tide but still hanging in there
sunset in Marino Ballena NP
our spot before the tide came in
yep, high tide reached out and touched us
okay, maybe we didn't put up the umbrella high enough up the beach
