The only downside to this beach is its restricted opening hours, but don't let that deter you from experiencing its beauty. The admission and parking fees may be a bit of a bummer, but the stunning scenery and pristine, velvety sand make it all worth it. The waves are just right, providing a delightful curl that will make any beach lover's heart sing. This beach truly is a gem, and it's waiting for you to come and bask in its glory.

This beach is an absolute gem! The sand is soft and inviting, and the views are simply breathtaking. There are also plenty of shady spots to relax and soak up the scenery. What's more, even on a bustling Saturday in February, the beach is not too crowded, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. Overall, this beach is a must-visit for anyone looking for a serene and picturesque escape.

Playa Arco

This beach is a true treasure. I have a deep affection for it. To reach it, you will need to traverse a trail that can be slippery, so be sure to wear suitable shoes. The upside is that the hike to get there deters many visitors, making it a private and tranquil haven. It is a secluded paradise where you can find peace and serenity.

Playa Ventanas
8 Jinaglo

Ah, the beach in the cove with caves through the rock to the ocean. Once a serene getaway, now a bustling hub of commerce with licensed vendors and their tents, tables, and chairs. It's the perfect place to witness the locals in their natural habitat, playing soccer on the sand and enjoying big family cookouts. And let's not forget about the shallow entry and stunning sunsets during peak season. It's a true paradise, if you don't mind sharing it with the masses.

Playa puerto nuevo
8 Auriel Costa

I would suggest visiting this beach only during low tide and note that only cars with 4x4 capabilities should attempt to enter. However, it's worth the extra effort to get there because the golden sand and beautiful scenery are truly worth it. Plus, the walk from the parking area is minimal.
