Dinner on the Cliff

The Pacific from above, at the hour it is worth watching.

01

The idea

The ridge above Manuel Antonio has the best west-facing view on this stretch of coast. Timed properly, dinner starts in daylight and ends in the dark — the sky does the work.

What makes it different

  • Timed to the last light
03

What to expect

  • Cloud may hide the sunset
