Weddings in Manuel Antonio are great!

Manuel Antonio National Park’s 683 hectares boast some of the country’s most varied and breathtaking scenery.

Surrounded by lush, very wet tropical forest, the park’s trails offer sightings of white-faced monkeys, sloths, coatis, raccoons, iguanas and many bird species, as well as the Costa Rican squirrel monkey (Saimiri oerstedii citrinellus), which is endemic to Manuel Antonio—that is, it is found only in this part of the world.

The park also protects 12 islands that serve as excellent refuges for several seabird species, as well as several stunning beaches (Espadilla Sur, Manuel Antonio and Puerto Escondido), a 14-hectare lagoon and a mangrove swamp. Connecting Manuel Antonio and Espadilla Sur beaches, Punta Catedral is a place of great natural beauty. Visitor services include information, a park ranger station, trails, restrooms, drinking water, signage and several natural viewpoints.

Dozens of hotels offer sandy white beaches and forest trails that have made this destination one of the most popular in Costa Rica.
Manuel Antonio is one of the best areas of any in the country to have a beach wedding.

The waters in the area are crystal clear, making these beaches popular for snorkeling. The surf is gentle, great for swimming, body surfing, playing with a boogie board, or just relaxing. The jungle of the National Park reaches down to the beach, so you can stroll through the park on your own or take a guided tour. A local sea kayak company has kayaking and rafting day trips available. Horses are available to rent. There are many restaurants to choose from in this area.
