Hey adventurers! Here, from the beautiful Quepos, I bring you the secrets and charms of one of Costa Rica’s most iconic beaches: Playa Manuel Antonio. And if you’re wondering why it’s so talked about, keep reading and discover it with me!
More than just sand and sea!
Of course, Playa Manuel Antonio is famous for its white sand and turquoise waters. But beyond its undeniable beauty, it’s the combination of its location in the heart of Manuel Antonio National Park and its rich biodiversity that makes it unique.
A paradise for snorkeling
The crystal-clear waters are perfect for diving in and exploring the underwater world, especially at the ends where marine life is displayed in all its splendor.
Looking for tranquility? Better get up early
Being a very popular beach, it tends to get crowded as the day goes on. If you want a moment of serenity and a more intimate experience with the beach, I suggest starting your day with it and then exploring the park.
An encounter with local wildlife
It’s essential to remember that you’re in the home of many animal species. Therefore, if you see monkeys or raccoons, don’t try to feed or disturb them! And a golden tip: keep an eye on your belongings, these little friends are very cunning and may have a particular interest in your backpack. 😉
How to get there?
To enjoy this wonder, you must enter Manuel Antonio National Park and pay the corresponding entrance fee. Once inside, get ready for an unforgettable experience.
So, if you’re planning a trip to Costa Rica, you can’t miss visiting Manuel Antonio Beach. And if you’ve already been there, leave me your comments and share your experience! Because as I always say, every adventure is unique, but all adventures together make an unforgettable journey! 🌴🍹🏖️🐒.
