I visited a beach that had golden sand and it was amazing. Additionally, I had the opportunity to try the best red snapper from a small bar in Puerto Viejo.

During my beach-hopping ATV tour, I came across this beach and it was definitely my favorite one! It was absolutely breathtaking, not too crowded, and the water was calm with minimal waves. The water was crystal clear, making it easy to see through and swim in. I highly recommend visiting if you have the opportunity.

The beach is really nice and perfect for a walk to Conchal. The sand is golden and adds to the beauty of the place. However, the water can be a bit murky due to the sand, but if you walk towards Conchal, the water becomes crystal clear.
