Hatillo is a small community located 5 minutes north of Dominical along the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica. The town is just off the paved coastal highway and has a few small shops and restaurants. Hatillo Costa Rica real estate has become increasingly popular with those looking for a peaceful setting close to nature. There are several mountain roads that climb up from the town to access the mountain communities where many expats choose to live. The ocean views are amazing, and the rainforest is lush and full of wildlife, rivers, and waterfalls. The closest beach is called Playa Guapil and is one of the best-kept secrets in the area. To get there, you take a dirt road that passes the Hacienda Barú Nature Preserve and arrives at one of the most beautiful and deserted beaches you have ever seen. When you get there, it feels like you’ve stepped back in time. There are no homes or structures of any kind for many kilometers in either direction, and it will likely stay this way forever due to the fragile ecosystem of mangroves and rivers that meet the sea. It is a great beach for surfing or just relaxing and getting away from it all. For those interested in homes for sale, houses for sale in Hatillo, or even condos for sale, the area offers a range of property for sale tucked into the hills or close to the coast. Hatillo is only 5 minutes north of Dominical if you want to be in town where you can find more services, and it’s only 25 minutes south of Quepos and Manuel Antonio—home to the most visited national park in the country. In Quepos, you’ll also find Marina Pez Vela, one of the best marinas in Costa Rica and your gateway to some of the best fishing in the world.
