The beach is really nice and enjoyable, perfect for having a good time. They offer ranch rentals and sell food at very reasonable prices. It's a good idea to bring your own drinks, ice, and water. The road is in good condition but should be driven slowly as it can be dangerous if you're speeding. The ranches are available for only $5.00 and come equipped with bathrooms and showers. Overall, the food is affordable and the ranches are a great value.

There is an overwhelming amount of both regular and microplastic debris present on the beach. It's worth noting that the beach has free public access.

This beach is fantastic and the locals are incredibly friendly. The only downside is the lack of water, as the nearby rural aqueduct only provides a small amount. However, we were fortunate enough to come across some cabins called Patiño, where the man who helped us had access to water and saved us from having to search for it ourselves.
