It was a great way to end our trip - spent that time on the beach our last afternoon in this area to watch the sun go down. You can rent chairs along the beach. Prices vary. Be careful who you pay and don't leave valuables alone on this beach.

The beach was beautiful. We visited in May and there were not a lot of people. Monkeys and racoons try to steal peoples' bags and provide a lot of entertainment in the process!

This is a stunning beach inside the national park. Once you are past the entrance and crowds of tour groups blocking the entrance, it takes around 20 minutes to walk to the beach.
The beach is a cove with jungle up to the edges. There is lots of wildlife around, lizards, iguanas raccoons and monkeys will all appear as you...

The Beach is picturesque and the water feels amazing. Definitely one of the best beaches in the world. Ya definitely put your food in a backpack or else the racoons or monkeys will take it. They are cool to see for a minute but they can get annoying

We had a great time on this beach. Juan took good care of us with beach chairs and umbrellas. Our daughter had a great surfing lesson and had several successful runs.

Hiking through the jungle to get to the beach, even at 8 AM, was hot but very flat and easy. We saw monkeys on the way, and then later they had "monkey happy hour" at about 11, when they came and invaded the picnic tables! Beach was sandy, water pretty clear and very very warm. Looking down the beach, it...

For a lunch this is the best place to go! Nice at the beach and the food is honest, simple but very fresh and not pricey at all. Ik would recommend this place!

This beach is WELL worth the $10 admission fee. When we visited on Tuesday it was a bit crowded but on our Wednesday visit the crowds were minimal. The cove provides a great swimming environment. Lots of space to spread out and have your own beach space. Watch out for the monkeys and raccoons who will try to steal from...
