Venture off the beaten path as you step onto the cream-colored sand of Playa Biesanz. The beach is small and secluded, reached by a short trail through tropical rainforest. The trail begins at a small break in a fence between hotels Shana and Parador. Shade trees border the beach, where you can read a book or just admire the view. Go snorkeling in the clear waters, or kayak offshore to go exploring. A nearby submerged rock is known for being a good snorkeling spot. By using our Manuel Antonio day trip tool, you can arrange your visit to Playa Biesanz and other attractions in Manuel Antonio.

  • This beach was ideal for swimming if you have smaller children. Not for surfing, but a wonderfully relaxing place.

  • Great hidden spot. Don't share tell anyone about it but it's awesome. Do stop at the local store for drinks and snacks ahead of your visit. If you plan to hang out for the day get an ice chest. Get there early to secure a good parking spot. Keep in mind the tides drop as the morning progresses so dont get stuck on the first beach chair/umbrella. Bring: water shoes, goggles or snorkel gear, a waterproof phone case and a Pura Vida attitude. Overall the experience is awesome.
  • Excellent place to go it can be very lively with people bringing in their speakers for music. Really secluded and there is a beach bar to have food and drinks. Water was excellent. Little rocky, but better to go when its low tide. Would definitely come back to Biesanz!
