Manuel Antonio on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast is known for the national park that protects rainforest, beaches and marine habitat immediately beside the resort area.
Rainforest beside the sea
Park trails offer opportunities to see monkeys, sloths, birds and other wildlife, while beaches provide a natural conclusion to a morning in the forest. Visitor access is managed, so advance arrangements are sensible.
A coast with variety
Outside the park, boating, kayaking and private touring broaden the experience. Manuel Antonio works well for travellers wanting wildlife without giving up restaurants, villas and straightforward coastal comfort.
