Playa Mar Azul
10 Maggie McAllister

I absolutely adore this beach! What's even better is that it has free public access, making it a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy the sun, sand, and sea without breaking the bank.

Mal Pais Beach
6 Nikolai Petrovich

The waves are too powerful and the currents are incredibly strong, making it difficult to do anything other than fish at this beach.

Manzanillo Beach
10 Maxwell Greene

This beach is fantastic! Although it's small, it's absolutely idyllic and simply beautiful. The people in the area are also very friendly. However, it's important to be mindful of the strong currents if you decide to go for a swim. There are plenty of dining options available nearby. Additionally, dogs are allowed to roam off-leash and drinking and fishing are permitted. Unfortunately, camping and driving vehicles are not allowed. Just be sure to exercise caution when in the water.

This beach is absolutely delightful, boasting some truly impressive waves that are sure to excite surfers and beach-goers alike. While the water can be a bit choppy at times, the overall experience is nothing short of fantastic. The beach itself is quite spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the scenery. When the waves are particularly large, the water takes on a slightly darker hue, adding to the allure of this stunning location. For those looking to rent a surfboard, there are plenty of options available close to the beach, and there are even showers on hand for those who want to rinse off after a long day in the sun. Overall, this is a truly remarkable beach that is well worth a visit.
