This is a lovely beach that can only be reached by foot. It's surrounded by lush forests and teeming with wildlife. If you enjoy hiking and exploring, I highly recommend a visit. Keep in mind that there are no restrooms or stores nearby, so it's a good idea to bring a water bottle with you.

Playa Manzanillo, also known as the locals' favorite, is a great beach for those who seek privacy. However, accessing it requires entering through private property or visiting La Joya de Lagarto, which has cabins and a restaurant. It's worth noting that this beach has public free entry.
