Photo of the Week: Manuel Antonio Beach in Costa Rica


Playa Manuel Antonio is described as one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. It is located in Manuel Antonio National Park, which is a charming combination of rainforests, beaches and coral reefs. The rainforest is home to sloths, iguanas, rare squirrel monkeys and millions of colorful little Halloween Crabs; so named for their orange and black coloring.

Manuel Antonio Beach can be found after a short walk through the rainforest, which is the lush background to its aquamarine waters and white, powdery sand. There, the sandy shore is wide and deep enough to spread out for ample privacy, and the numerous coral reefs allow for excellent snorkeling.

About an hour's drive from the main international airport in San Jose, Manuel Antonio is the logical first stop on a trip to this wonderfully diverse, and beautiful country
