If you're up for a little adventure, this beach is the perfect spot for you. It may be small, but it's packed with beauty and even boasts a tiny cave that you can explore. Just be prepared to conquer a rocky and steep path to get there - and leave those flip flops at home. But hey, the journey is half the fun, right?

The path to the beach isn't very wide, but it adds to the excitement of the journey. You'll need to watch your step as you make your way there. However, once you arrive, the experience is worth it. The water is crystal clear and the atmosphere is peaceful, making it the perfect spot to relax and unwind.

I absolutely adored it, the scenery is stunning, simply stunning. However, the route to El Barco beach in Azua is quite challenging, and the only way to reach it is by taking a boat from Monte Rio beach. Nonetheless, I highly suggest taking the trek and enjoying the breathtaking views along the way.
