Review & FAQ:
If you keep walking along the lovely sandy Playa Espadilla, just outside Park Manuel Antonio, past the rocky headland, you will find one of Costa Rica's best known gay beaches. It is not accessible within an hour of high tide, so be careful not to lose track of time while enjoying the sun.
This little tropical jungle surrounded beach was so isolated, for a it was known for its 'clothing optional' policy, but the new hotel behind the beach put a stop to that. Nevertheless, young gay men enjoy its fine sands and protection from surf, while being shaded by ancient tropical trees.
