Where are we located?
We are located in Playa Dominical in between the Central and South Pacific
of Costa Rica (Puntarenas). This region is a tropical rain forest and is known
for its tremendous beauty.
What is the best way to get to CRSC?
We offer transportation included in the packages from the Airport to Dominical
and back to the Airport.
If you'd like to fly into Dominical it is necessary
to connect in San Jose but schedules are not always the best. The air shuttle
from San Jose to Dominical (Quepos or Palmar Sur Airport) depends on the demand
of the people flying. It is always better to book a flight with a good time
in advance. You only have to pay a small difference for the tickets. The flight
lasts about 30 minutes and each airport is about 60 minutes from Dominical.
The ground shuttle from San Jose to Dominical can
take about 4 hours.
What is Dominical like?
Dominical is a thriving little beach village. There are several bars, restaurants,
tour places, and souvenir shops to choose from. All of these places are within
walking distance from CRSC, which is located downtown.

What should I bring?
All you really need is a bathing suit, sunscreen, camera and a smile. If you're
enrolling in the Surf School, you might want to invest in a rashguard (to
prevent a rash on your chest while surfing). Or....you can wait and purchase
one once you arrive in town.
