Imagine strolling along Marina Pez Vela for some great waterfront pics. It's located 0.4 mi (0.7 km) from central Quepos. Hotels.com travelers also say the area is family-friendly and has lots of nice beaches. If you carry on walking you'll get to Playa La Macha for some more water views.
If being by the water is a major draw, Playa Espadilla is a spot you might want to check out, located 1.5 mi (2.5 km) from central Manuel Antonio. Catch the sunset by the shore at Playa Espadilla Sur, just a short walk away.
