Playa La Macha is the most secluded and private beach in the Manuel Antonio region, and many people decide to let loose here.

Since the opening of a hotel on Playa Playitas, Playa La Macha has taken over as the best gay nude beach.

The path to this beach can be quite difficult, reviewers describe a tricky 20 minute hike from the town.

This is one of Manuel Antonio's lesser known beaches so don't expect a big crowd, but you might meet a few fellow gay tourists here.
