Manuel Antonio Beach

Costa Rica's beaches rank among the best in the world. Part of the small but impressively beautiful Manuel Antonio National Park, Manuel Antonio Beach has been rated one of the top ten beaches worldwide.

The beach is half a mile long, a perfect white sand crescent bordered by deep green mangroves and palms. Ideal for swimming, the warm and clear greeny-blue waters offer a colourful and varied marine life for snorkellers to discover. Surfing and kayaking are popular sports and, if one tires of the beach, one can always hike into the pristine forest of the National Park.
