This beach, located just a stone's throw away from the center of PV, is a serene and picturesque destination. You won't find any bustling crowds or rowdy vendors here. However, the lack of activity is offset by the limited dining options. One restaurant accepts card payments, while the other on the far end of the beach only accepts cash. The beach itself is pristine, with pure white sand and sparkling waters. But be warned, the waves can be quite powerful, so don't get too comfortable.

The ocean boasts a stunning hue and delectable cuisine is easily accessible from the sandy shores. In contrast to the crowded beaches further up north, this particular beach is delightfully uncrowded.

This beach is a true gem! It boasts crystal-clear, turquoise waters and is far less crowded than the popular PV beach. We decided to immerse ourselves in the local culture and rented a table and chairs, which allowed us to indulge in the delicious food sold by the vendors. Don't forget to bring cash for snacks and restroom use. The warm water and soft, sandy beach made for a truly enjoyable experience. Getting here is a breeze with Uber. Although we paid a bit extra for the table and chairs (400), it was well worth it to support the local community during our four-hour stay.

Located just a stone's throw away from downtown Zona Romantica, this beach is a great spot to soak up some sun and enjoy the clear, pristine waters. The sand is silky soft and the water is crystal clear, making it a delightful place to swim. The waves can vary in size depending on the day and time, but they are always fun to ride. However, be wary of jellyfish as they can sometimes be found in the water. The beach is moderately busy, with families and groups of people enjoying the sun and surf. Several hotels are situated along the beach, and there is one beachfront restaurant, though we didn't try the food due to unfavorable reviews. However, the drinks were decent. If you need some shade, you can rent an umbrella from one of the small tents selling floaties near the restaurant. The price is reasonable, and the vendor is happy to carry the umbrella down the beach for you and set it up in your desired spot.
