TripAdvisor, the world’s most popular user review site for travel destinations, has recently declared that Playa Manuel Antonio on Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast is one of the Top 10 Beaches in Central America. Coming in at the number two position, TripAdvisor described Playa Manuel Antonio as a “gorgeous beach” with a gentle tide and warm water, all the ingredients necessary to make it a swimmer’s and surfer’s paradise.

Playa (Spanish for “beach”) Manuel Antonio and the town of Manuel Antonio are about fifteen minutes’ drive from the airport at Quepos or can be reached by car in about two hours from the national capital, San Jose. The beach also borders the Manuel Antonio Park, one of Costa Rica’s smallest but most popular parks thanks to its diverse landscape and abundance of wildlife, including hundreds of bird species.

“It is a rare honor for our local beach, Playa Manuel Antonio, to have been selected by TripAdvisor users as one of the top 10 beaches in all of Central America,” said Luis Gattgens, founder and owner of the Manuel Antonio Surf School and Camp. “Having grown up here, teaching and surfing at Playa Manuel Antonio for years, of course we love this place, but it is really great to see this beautiful slice of nature gain the recognition that it deserves.”

The Manuel Antonio Surf School and Camp (MASS) is the premier surf school in the region. MASS and their team of experienced local coaches help teach surfers of all abilities and experience how to make the most of the world-class surfing opportunities found at Playa Manuel Antonio. Fully licensed water safety experts, the coaches of MASS use advanced video capture and wave motion techniques to assist surfers from around the world improve on and learn to enjoy one of the world’s oldest sports. MASS also organized adventure tours in the area, including horseback riding, whitewater rafting, canoeing, hiking, and bird watching.
