Playa Biesanz

A Hidden Gem of Manuel Antonio

Tucked away between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park, Playa Biesanz is one of the region’s best-kept secrets. This secluded beach, surrounded by lush rainforest and vibrant wildlife, offers a peaceful escape from the crowds. With its calm turquoise waters, soft golden sand, and shaded shoreline, it’s the perfect spot for swimming, snorkeling, or simply relaxing in nature’s embrace.

Unlike the more frequented beaches, Playa Biesanz remains an untouched paradise, alive with the sounds of monkeys, sloths, iguanas, and exotic birds. Its hidden location makes it feel like a private retreat, yet it’s just a short walk from Shana by the Beach. Our guests enjoy exclusive direct access to this tropical sanctuary, making it easy to slip away for a quiet morning swim or a sunset stroll.

For those looking to experience the beauty of Manuel Antonio in a more tranquil and intimate setting, Playa Biesanz is an absolute must-visit.

Manuel Antonio National Park

Manuel Antonio National Park is a vibrant rainforest paradise where lush greenery meets pristine beaches, creating one of Costa Rica’s most breathtaking natural sanctuaries. Just a 7-minute drive from Shana by the Beach, this world-famous park is teeming with wildlife and offers an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers.

Wildlife at Every Turn

As you wander through the park’s scenic trails, you’ll encounter an incredible variety of animals. White-faced capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, and the rare squirrel monkey swing through the treetops, while three-toed and two-toed sloths lounge lazily in the branches above. The park is also home to colorful toucans, scarlet macaws, iguanas, and countless species of butterflies and frogs. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a coati or an anteater on the move!

A Paradise of Beaches and Rainforest

Beyond its rich biodiversity, Manuel Antonio is known for its stunning coastline. The park’s beaches—Playa Manuel Antonio and Playa Espadilla Sur—offer soft white sand, turquoise waters, and a serene setting perfect for relaxing after a wildlife-filled trek.
