Hiked a couple of the trails with our 3 year old (not to the beach) and saw quite a few animals. There was a river crossing on one of the trails, so be aware of that. Great time!

It was a nice park but was not well maintained at all. Definitely take hiking boots since you will be hiking in mud for most of the route. I think the Rain Maker or even Manuel Antonio are better options.
