It is an absolute delight to camp at this beach and explore its serene surroundings. The journey to the pristine beach involves a boat ride followed by a walk through the ejido. It is recommended to carry your own food as there are no food vendors around, or alternatively, you can relish your meal on the outskirts of the ejido. The experience is truly unique and worth cherishing.

This beach is a pristine and secluded stretch of coastline, though it does suffer from the occasional influx of litter from nearby Miramar beach. However, this debris tends to accumulate further down the shore when the tides rise at night. If you plan to arrive by public boat, be aware that it stops running at 10 pm. Those who come by truck can enjoy a full day of sun and sand. Just be cautious near the start of the breakwater, where there is a deep pool. This beach is largely unvisited by tourists, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful day out with your family. You can relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings without worrying about theft, and may even have the entire beach to yourselves.

This serene beach is unspoiled by any man-made structures or pathways, making it a truly untouched paradise. Unfortunately, the only downside is the presence of litter and misplaced items from nearby Miramar beach. Despite this, the beach remains a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
