We anchored in a small bay outside Quepos and took a bus to town. Quepos is a lovely town with some restaurants and stores.
Just south of Quepos, Costa Rica is the famous Manuel Antonio nation park, housing animals from sloths to various monkeys, frogs and snakes and many more. A must see for anyone in that part of Costa Rica.
The park is very well maintained and provides various little hikes throughout. Park ranger are happy to help and point out which animals are most likely to be seen on which hikes. Some of the hikes lead to the other side where a beautiful bay with beach awaits.
If we visited again, we would anchor off this little coast. There is supposedly a fee for anchoring, but well worth it to visit the park and far less swell compared to Quepos, for a comfortable stay.
