great beaching and hiking without crowds and commercialism, watersports and fishing available from locals, friendly people willing to share their environment and culture

It is a great place to wonder about and see all the natural wonders of Cahuita. We had a lovely hike for over two miles...partly following the ocean which was cool. We saw gorgeous butterflies, a tucan, unique flying bug with bright orange wing tips and yellow legs and iguanas. We heard some monkeys but didn't catch a glimpse. It's... More

The path was very wide and easy to follow. We did not see very many animals, but the hike was still beautiful.

Walking path from Cahuita to Point Cahuita is through the park and close to the beach. Very beutiful

Disappointed in trail Walked in about 45 minutes not much to see when we were there. Beach pretty but tides can be strong. Lots of trash on ground.

We really loved wandering arroun this park. We have seen a lot of tipical Costarican animals, enjoyed our time on the beach... Highly recommended.
