The prettiest view Quepos has to offer. There’s a park with a children’s playground and outdoor gym by the sea wall. A stair case leads to a popular spot for local children to swim in at the rockier beach. A relatively short walk to the Marina for drinks, food, ice cream and pricy shopping.

We absolutely loved this beach! Very few people and soft sand with no pebbles. Soft waves were never too strong. Easy walk to get to the beach. The walk was much shorter than to busy Manuel Antonio Beach. We saw two iguanas and two Capuchin monkeys. Neither bothered us. We will definitely be back and will skip Manuel Antonio Beach next time.

Is exactly what was on everyone's lips when you first get a glimpse of this beach. It has lovely waters and the beach is clean. It's cool seeing iguanas rosin around on it too.

We enjoyed the morning at Manual Antonio National Park. We engaged our guide at our resort, La Foresta. Our guide, Royvin Arce Gomez, did a wonderful job and pointed out creatures and plants we never would have seen on our own. We capped off the afternoon at this fantastic beach. Wow, what a day!!

The beach inside the park is beautiful and there are no vendors to bother you. There are bathrooms, but the ladies room always had a line (don't wait too long)

While we enjoy both beaches at Manuel Antonio, this is our favorite. It is much more secluded and the ocean is so beautiful here with the rock formations and such. We spent some time here watching the world go by and photographing the sunning lizards.

You can only reach this beach by paying to walk through the National Park - worth it - get a guide and marvel at his/her local knowledge and 20-20 vision spotting animals. Squirrel monkeys abound so watch your stuff, they'll steal it!!

The beach insige the national park is nice, quiet and warm water. A little bit overcrowded. And howler monkeys and raccoons constantly check your belongings for food.
