8 Very good

After a pleasant hike through the forest, the view of the beach is breathtaking. The beach is serene and secluded, as it can only be reached by hiking. There are a few showers and picnic tables available. The hike is roughly 5km and takes about 2 hours to complete, although it may take less time on the return trip. If you are quiet during your hike, you may even catch a glimpse of some wildlife. However, the path can be difficult to navigate at times, and some visitors may expect clearer instructions given the price.

The trek to the beach may have been a bit of a workout, but the stunning views and crystal-clear waters made it all worth it. Although the shoreline was dotted with boulders, it added a unique touch to the scenery and made for a fun challenge to navigate. While animal sightings were scarce, we were lucky enough to spot a charming iguana basking in the sun. This beach is a must-visit for those who adore both hiking and the beach. And don't worry about bringing water or shower supplies - they're conveniently available on location. Plus, there are plenty of picnic tables to enjoy a delicious lunch with a view.

Park Chuzo is a great place to take a stroll and observe the local wildlife. The beach, which is free to the public, is absolutely stunning, although it can be quite rocky during the winter months.
