A location that offers both camping and shoreline fishing, where the availability of sierra curvina, sole, cochitos, and mojarras is dependent on the tides. Despite the unpredictability of the catch, it is an exceptional spot to set up camp and enjoy the outdoors.

Also referred to as Segunda Sierra Prieta, this beach is located in the midst of a land ownership dispute. Despite the controversy, it is a peaceful and serene destination. On the northern side of the point, visitors can witness a unique sight – a small cooperative of fishers who are engaged in the experimental practice of wild scallop farming.
