The Manuel Antonio has several of the finest beaches in Costa Rica.

Manuel Antonio Public Beach
Located at the end of the main road, just before you reach the park entrance.  The very large public beach stretches north.  The further north you go, the more secluded it becomes.

Manuel Antonio Park Beaches
Once you enter the park, there is a large beautiful beach that follows the walking path.
A second, even more beautiful beach is found about 5 minutes into your walk through the park.

The park and beaches are just a few minutes walk from either house.
