Espadilla Beach is the largest public beach that’s located near the entrance to Manuel Antonio National Park. So, it’s also a great place to stop after a long day of adventures in the park. This beach is well known among tourists, so it can get busy at times. It’s a good idea to keep an eye out for the rip currents that often occur off the shore of this beach.

Biesanz Beach lies at the end of a jungle trail that starts by the side of the road close to Hotel Parador. It goes through a small opening in a fence and goes down a steep hill with loose pebbles.
(does not have easy access)
The 10-minute walking the trail down the hill is slippery so be careful! The trail down to Biesanz Beach is a great place to test your senses while spotting wildlife; the trail has a few clearings between hillsides that allow for great wildlife spotting opportunities. We recommend going early morning since it’s a small beach and can fill up in summer.
