Latest reviews on Cocle's beaches

Playa Blanca
8 Nolan Anderson

The beach still retains the ambiance of an untouched, uninhabited island, despite the fact that it was quite crowded when we visited. The lush jungle is in close proximity to the sandy shore, adding to the natural beauty of this beach. It's important to come prepared with all the necessary supplies for the day, as there are no on-site shops available. It's a quick 20-minute boat ride from Portobello, costing around $10-15. We opted for the services provided by la morada de la bruja.

Farallón Beach
10 Kael

The Decameron beach is an unparalleled destination that provides an exceptional experience for all beach enthusiasts. The crystal-clear water and soft sand offer a serene and peaceful ambiance, making it an ideal spot to relax and unwind. The beach is well-maintained, and the surrounding scenery is breathtaking, making it a perfect location for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. The beach offers a wide range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and water sports, ensuring that everyone has something to enjoy. The beach's location is also convenient, with easy access to nearby amenities and restaurants. Overall, the Decameron beach is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the perfect beach getaway.

Santa Clara Beach
10 Santana Cruz

The beach was gorgeous and well-maintained. Despite the strong riptide, the water remained crystal clear, which is a rare occurrence that supposedly only happens once a year. We visited on a Monday and were pleasantly surprised to find it deserted. Additionally, there was no fee for admission or parking, although we did leave a tip for the caretaker on our way out.

Compuesta Beach
10 Zyvexio7

The beach is an amazing spot to enjoy a picnic with your loved ones or buddies. However, it's worth noting that the shore is moderately inclined and can experience powerful waves, which may not be appropriate for swimming. Additionally, the temperature can skyrocket, resulting in an oppressive atmosphere. As a result, it's crucial to choose the appropriate time to visit this location.

Blanca Beach
8 Nathan Navarro.

The sprawling plaza boasts an impressive array of six hotel buildings, each with its own unique charm. The resort's two sparkling pools and thrilling water slide offer endless hours of aquatic fun, but the real gem of this destination is undoubtedly the beach. With its soft sand and crystal-clear waters, it's the perfect place to soak up the sun and unwind. And let's not forget about the food - it's truly exceptional and sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. While the rooms are comfortable enough, the lack of outlets can be a bit frustrating when trying to charge electronic devices. Despite this minor inconvenience, the resort is a lovely place to stay, though it may disappoint those who crave adventure and exploration.
