It may be the smallest, but this is probably the most popular national park of Costa Rica with foreign visitors.  It is just a few kilometers to the south of Quepos, with easy, convenient access.

This unique park combines white sandy beaches with tropical rainforest, replete with fantastic flora and fauna that continues to flourish.

One can meander along serendipitous paths, charting his or her own course, as the walkways are marked and described very well.

The paradisiacal bay invites you to in for a dip as the sun shines brilliantly over the shore. 

The park is open from 8.00am till 5:00 pm daily. Mondays closed.  Guided tours of the park are also possible, and very instructive, by the highly informative local guides.
