This beach is simply not worth the effort to reach. The path leading to it snakes through a dense jungle, and it can be a nerve-wracking experience. While there are occasional signs to guide you, missing one could mean getting lost in the wilderness and feeling thoroughly unnerved. The trek on foot is a considerable one, taking up to an hour to complete. For these reasons, I highly suggest opting for a boat ride instead.

The beach is more suitable for observation rather than swimming due to its powerful currents. The path leading to the shoreline is not adequately marked, and the few signs present are unclear. In my opinion, it's not worth the effort and a complete waste of time.

The beach is an absolute gem, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a pristine paradise that's definitely worth the trek, especially if you're looking for a secluded spot to unwind. The best time to visit is in the afternoon, after the catamarans have left and the beach is all yours. The walk to get there is a bit of a hike, taking around 30-40 minutes, but the scenic route is mostly shaded and pleasant. We encountered a few friendly locals who helped us navigate our way to the beach. Remember to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and insect repellent as the journey can be quite long. If you're up for it, snorkeling is a must-do activity here. However, if you're after a wider variety of marine life, Playa Entega might be a better alternative.

I recently visited a remarkable beach that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking a secluded getaway. Although it's situated away from the town, it's still accessible via taxi or car with a 20-40 minute walk from the road. Depending on where you park, you can take an educational path with bird watching spots or a basic road that only authorized individuals can use. However, be cautious of other animals, such as wild boars, that may be present. The beach itself is pristine with small waves and crystal clear water, but be aware of strong currents underwater. The water gets deep quickly, reaching 2-5 meters where the bottom cannot be felt, making it unsuitable for children. Occasionally, boats visit and some may stop to allow visitors to disembark and enjoy the beach. It's essential to bring ample water and food, but there are palapas available for shade. If you have an umbrella, it's a great idea to bring it along. Overall, this beach is a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat.
