Name: The beach located in the heart of the town is fantastic. It's conveniently situated within walking distance from most hotels in the vicinity. However, the sand was a bit too hot and not as clean as the sand in Southern California. Despite that, the water was incredibly refreshing, but one must be cautious of jellyfish. I found my daughter playing with one on the beach, and I'm grateful she didn't get stung. Nevertheless, this beautiful area is a must-visit spot.

This stunning beach has a plethora of beach sport facilities and a charming walking path that leads to a quaint harbor. Additionally, there are numerous gift shops, restaurants, and ice cream parlors in close proximity to the beach. The harbor is lovingly protected by the 'Imaculado Coracao de Maria' atop a nearby hill.

This beach is perfect for swimming, with almost no waves, making it suitable for children. You can also spot some fish near the rocks, and some people even jump off the wall into the sea. It's a popular spot for locals, too.
