You will be shocked and surprised to learn that Manuel Antonio National Park is the smallest park in the country and still one of the most popular among travelers of all kinds since its establishment in 1972. This nature laden park focuses on preserving biodiversity and hence you can discover a large number of vibrant wildlife that include babbling squirrel and white-faced monkeys along with colorful crabs, iguanas, and sloths.  You must spend at least one day exploring the rainforest to see the best features of it including tons of animals, waterfalls, beaches hidden within the easy to access hiking trails.  Manuel Antonio Park was ranked one of the top 12 National parks in the World by Forbes magazine.

Beaches for More Fun and Relaxation

Discover the Manuel Antonio Beach found within the National Park, where you can take delight in the pristine beach and its sparkling waves. However, we would warn you to keep your snacks guarded as the monkeys and raccoons may snatch it from you! You can spot many other animals as well like sloths and parrots there.

• Playitas Beach

If you want to avoid crowds and are looking for a more secured beach to explore and relax, then Espadilla Sur Beach is your best choice. It is an amazing destination for learning how to surf or tackle the waves. If you are a beginner then the southern end of the beach is best for you and if you want to tackle the bigger waves and are a seasoned surfer then go for the northern end.

You can also head to Playa Espadilla Beach to take pleasure in the beautiful and impressive scene of the sun setting over the stunning ocean waves. You may also hike up to Cathedral Point which is about a 20 minutes hike away from the National Park for a good view.
