Booking.com

Playa Biesanz (Costa Rica) is located outside the Manuel Antonio settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Biesanz with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"Biesanz is an excellent beach destination that can get quite lively with people bringing their own music. It's also quite secluded, and there's a beach bar where you can grab some food and drinks. The water is top-notch, although the beach can be a bit rocky at times. It's best to visit during low tide. Overall, I would definitely recommend a trip to Biesanz."

Goran Pljevich

"The beach is secluded and not overly crowded with tourists, but there are some locals who provide amenities such as drinks, kayaks, lounge chairs, restrooms, and possibly snacks. Additionally, the beach boasts golden sand."
