When we arrived, we waited in a short, 10 minute line. We were asked to fill in some forms and pay a fee. As a national park, no dogs allowed. The sand and mud road to the beach is flat and not difficult for an average person to walk. When we exited the tree line onto the beach, we realized how big this beach was. It looked smaller in the pictures but it is so big, we walked for half an hour and didn't see other people. The sand was pristine and very spongy from the life within it and lack oh human impact. The waves were typical of a surf beach in the area, so definitely buddy up if you get in the water. The park guardians rode around on quads while tour groups loaded into boats on the beach. It was quite a production to watch. We walked out to the whale tail but people are restricted from going all the way to the end in order to preserve the integrity of the park.

Amazing beach and park. Most important for a great experience bring water and sunhat. Don't underestimate the sun and hot sand - the whale tail is 2 km walking from the entrance.

The beaches are beautiful and good for surfing. Since the national park consists exclusively of the beach on the coast of Uvita, it is not possible for tourists to visit the beach without paying $6 for a day ticket. In principle, you have to pay for a sunset on the beach.

I went on Tuesday but i didn't in this day the beach was closed, a impolite park guard asking me why was i there? And it is closed, don't you see the sign (it was writting on a piece of cardboard)... The place is fantastic, i saw the whale tail on the beach. Whale season is in August and September.
