This location was clean, quiet, and had a great atmosphere. Even during the busiest times of the year, it was usually deserted, which was great. There was also a lot of surveillance, which made me feel safe. All in all, I loved it!

Not great, the road to get there is in bad shape and not well marked, so don't bother going - El Paso beach is a much better option. Plus, it has the added bonus of free public entry!

8 Very good

That place may not be as impressive as the playa de Paso, but it's still worth visiting, even for just an hour's walk. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes, as it takes about two hours to get there from El Golfo at a leisurely pace. What's more, the beach remains relatively deserted even during the busiest times of year.
