With only few days remaining to discover a bit of Costa Rica, I picked the Manuel Antonio park for its relative proximity to Panama / Boquete, as well as its self-named Natural park, its beaches and some surfing.
Manuel Antonio park visit
This park has one of the most impressive landscapes of the world and has several coves with many white sand beaches and lush foliage amidst great mountains and forests that reach the beaches. I went there on Sunday July 14th afternoon, and could not only enjoy again (after the ziplining the previous day) some great rainforest views, but also relax almost alone on the beach, perfect :-)

| Well, me on a secluded nice beach :) |
Just outside of the park, there are other beaches, this time with black-sand, not sure how we can have white & black sand so close. Relax & surfing atmosphere, quite busy during the week-end, as it sounds many Costa Ricans also come there in vacations or long week-ends from San Jose.
From this beach, it is possible to see the park's forest diving into the sea, with few island away cutting the horizon line.
