Manuel Antonio National Park

Manuel Antonio is probably the most visited park in Costa Rica. The beautiful white sand beaches along with the exuberant vegetation and animal life make it a convenient and easy access place to visit.

The park has an extension of 4,014 acres. A well maintained network of trails takes you to the three main beaches in the park: Espadilla Sur for surfers, Manuel Antonio for swimmers and Puerto Escondido, rough and rocky. Taking the Punta Catedral trail will let you see some spectacular views of the ocean and the 12 small islands that belong to the park. Visiting Manuel Antonio National Park is an enjoyable experience that will let you cool off in the calm, emerald-green waters and stretch out on the soft, golden sand of this beautiful place. Definitely one of our favorite retreats.
