What to do in Costa Azul Beach? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Costa Azul Beach welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

2 Very poor

This beach is nothing but a mirage of paradise. The sand may seem soft and inviting, but it's infested with pesky insects that will leave you with itchy, red welts. The water may appear crystal clear, but it's actually filled with stinging jellyfish that will make your swim a painful experience. And let's not forget the scorching sun that will leave you burnt to a crisp, despite your best efforts to protect yourself with sunscreen. This beach may seem like heaven at first glance, but it's really just a cruel joke played on unsuspecting tourists.

6 Pleasant

This beach is a great spot for surfers, with some decent areas to catch some waves. The beach itself is quite long and offers plenty of space for sunbathing and relaxing. However, parents with young children should be aware that the waves can be quite strong and may not be suitable for little ones. Additionally, the decking along the walkway is in poor condition, with rotten boards, missing pieces, and nails sticking up, which can be hazardous. Unfortunately, the city does not maintain the buildings and surrounding area, which has led to the beach gym and playground falling into disrepair. It's disheartening to see such neglect, as it detracts from the natural beauty and enjoyment of this beach.
