"A short 12 km walk south of Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo is even smaller than Cahuita and feels wonderfully off the beaten path—it's ideal if you want to escape crowds and experience a more authentic town; the reef system is close to shore making it the region's main diving spot, it attracts older couples, families, and retirees, and it boasts one of the best beaches in the country." - Matthew Kepnes
