About this site
Manuel Antonio National Park sits on Costa Rica's central Pacific coast, near the town of Quepos in Puntarenas province. The park is best known for its rainforest trails and beaches, and diving or snorkeling trips in the area typically launch from the coastal waters just offshore of the park's coves. Diving here is rated beginner, and divers have reported octopus, pufferfish, and seahorses among the reef life along this stretch of coast.
