Throughout the time spent in Costa Rica I kept hearing great word of mouth about the beaches at Manuel Antonio. It was decided that this should be the last stop before heading home. The beaches there did not disappoint. These are some of the most physically beautiful places I have ever seen - stunningly beautiful.
The National Park here comprises forest protecting three perfect beaches, each one seemingly better than the last. The sand was white, soft and unlittered. The waters were crystal clear, warm and azure blue for as far as the eye could see. The surrounding forest lined each beach and provided the perfect tropical backdrop. The sun was strong, we had perfect weather and there was not a care in the world. Life was very good here.
