Watch the sun set over the open sea

Manuel Antonio Nationalpark, Costa Rica

1 / 3

Watch the sunset at Playa Espadilla, looking out over palm trees, sand and open sea.

What you can experience here

You want to experience the last light of the day in the warm Pacific? Playa Espadilla is one of the few beaches in Manuel Antonio where you can watch the sun set directly over the ocean. Here palm trees, wide sand, bizarre rock formations and open sea all come together. In the distance the light plays on the waves as the horizon slowly turns orange.

The sandy bay stretches for almost two kilometres along Manuel Antonio and offers plenty of space to find your own spot on the beach. Alongside the sight of the wide sky, the regular sound of the surf creates a relaxed atmosphere. If you need a snack in between, you’ll find local stalls with fresh drinks and small dishes along the edge of the beach. Right up until the last light you stay here close to the pulse of the sea.
