San José's beach is a great spot to visit, with its fine sand and ample parking nearby. It's an ideal location for diving, too, as the seabed is perfect for it.

That place is a great choice if you're looking for a place to relax near San José. It's just a short 5-10 minute walk away, so you don't have to worry about going to the main beach or the more distant Playa Genoveses or Playa Monsul. It's a perfect spot to unwind in the sun.

The perfect choice if you want to be close to the city, but still get a taste of the ocean. It's great for snorkeling, but don't expect too much.
