Manuel Antonio National Park is famous for its beauty and its great beaches. From Bejuco we drove for about an hour to get here....you pass Parrita and Quepos then you get to Manuel Antonio's entrance. We did not know but from the entrance you need to hike like 45 minutes in order to get to the beach. Needless to say that a 45 minute walk with three little kids in the summer in Puntarenas was well almost a suicide mission. And to top it all of we forgot our water bottles in the car, and somehow thought carrying a bunch of stuff to make our stay at the beach more comfortable would be a good idea!
Take your water. And carry the minimum possible. In our opinion Manuel Antonio is not a place for families with little kids. The place is beautiful, but you will be too tired to enjoy it! And then after a hot day at the beach you need to walk back! There are no restaurants, and nowhere to buy drinks. They also do not allow umbrellas at the beach because it is a National Park and ohhh yes did I mention that there is a crocodile who loves to take swims at the beaches there? Yes you heard well crocodile!
