Great thin crust pizza for 7000 colones. In our opinion, the best pizza for a reasonable price. The place is surrounded by the forest. Trees, palms, limbs, sometimes even monkeys will come by.

Biesanz it’s a beautiful beach. Pacific waves makes it safe for swimming, for kids, a really enjoyable place.
Advices:
- it’s better to visit in high tide (ask me for the time) because in low tide it will be a bit more rocky.
Although if you decide to visit still in low tide it is nice to swim in the far right side of the beach.
- As you will see in the map, you will have to walk down to the beach for 5 minutes. When you park your vehicle, there will be somebody offering to watch over your car. Tourist are not in the obligation to pay for that since it’s public road but we advice to give them a tip, just to keep good vibes. You don’t have to pay in advance their amounts (sometimes abusive rates). A tip is enough or ask me where you can park your car and

Parking your car
When you park in a public area, like a public street or the beach, you are not obligated to pay a fee for somebody to “watch over your car”. Although, we advice tourists to give a tip just to keep the good vibes. But you should never pay in advance for parking in public areas.

Leave your car at the house
During high season it could be difficult to find a place to park. So if you are planning to go to the beach and you’re bringing only a few things with you, you can take the bus. It stops only a minute away from the house ¡It costs less than a dollar and you don’t have to pay for parking!
