9 Excellent

The beach is a short 10-minute walk away from Playa Negra and is absolutely stunning. There seems to be a small fishing area with boats, but we didn't attempt to rent one. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves by snorkeling during low tide on two separate occasions and had a fantastic time. The beach was not overcrowded, and we felt secure enough to leave our belongings under some trees in the shade while we snorkeled for a few hours.

During our stay at Rita & Sonny's Airbnb shack, we had the luxury of having direct access to Playa Callejones. The beach is open to the public and there is no fee for entry. We were able to relax on their hammocks and sun chairs, which were conveniently located right on the beach.
