Our last major stop on the tour was at Mario Antonio National Park.  About a 2 hour drive from Los Suenos along the coast.  We left really early because if you get there a little too late (like 9:30 or 10am) you may not get in at all.  They have an 800 person limit to reduce impact on the wildlife.  Many of these folks will stay on the beach for a long time as the beaches are truly beautiful.  Since I sunburn so easily, I avoided them and stayed covered up!  The park’s website is:  <https://manuelantoniopark.com>
