Playa del Doctor |
|
| Playa del Doctor
is
the most secluded of Manuel Antonio's beaches. It can only be
reached by small boats or on foot. Starting from the Quepos-Manuel Antonio
road, across from Sula Bya Ba, you follow Camino Viejo to Hotel Villa Teca
and turn left. At the next fork in the road, keep to the left and follow
the road to the end, where the trail to the beach begins. This is a rough,
steep trail, and the uphill return trip is only for the physically fit.
When you arrive at the beach, you are likely to find that you have the beach to yourself! The beach is strewn with good-sized rocks. A semi-circle of rocks (center of picture at right) is believed to be a pre-Columbian sea-turtle trap. This beach is completely under water at high tide, so time your visit accordingly. |
