This is a waterfall you can hike to that will take about 40 min. You will get to the top of it and have to jump in and pull yourself up by a rope. During dry season it is not as safe to go swimming but from October- Feb you should be good to go. Ask for directions before taking off on foot as where it is on this map is not accurate. Great for rainy or hot days and it is a really local spot so you might not see a single person the whole time you are there.

The main beach is about 3km long and there is plenty of space for everyone. This is where you would want to learn to surf or just lay out on the beach to relax with a good book. If you are looking for more quiet walk to the right (as you look at the ocean) until you don't see any more umbrellas (:

This is a great alternative to the national park in Manuel Antonio if the tickets are sold out. Rainmaker has many trails and waterfalls as well as hanging bridges and is usually way less busy than the national park.
