The brief journey to this beach is undoubtedly worthwhile. While the northern section of the shoreline is marginally less rugged, the entire expanse is an awe-inspiring sight to behold.

To the reviewer who criticized the restroom facilities at the beach, I must say that you should reconsider your expectations. It is unfair to assume that every public beach should have luxurious amenities. The restroom may be modest, but it is impeccably maintained, and the proprietor takes great pride in its cleanliness. In fact, many locals frequent this beach, which creates a welcoming and authentic atmosphere. Let's appreciate the simple pleasures of a beautiful beach and the efforts of those who work hard to maintain it.

This beach is a hidden gem, with fewer tourists and more locals. The water is crystal clear and has a beautiful turquoise hue, while the sand is a stunning golden color. You can grab some delicious food and drinks from the local vendors, who are stationed in charming little shacks. There are no pushy vendors to bother you, so you can enjoy the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. This is our new favorite spot, conveniently located near Zona Romantica, and an Uber ride from there costs around $7.00 USD.

This beach is an ideal spot to relax and unwind. It may be a tad tranquil for some, but that's precisely what makes it so appealing. There are a handful of vendors, and the vast expanse of water is a sight to behold. It's one of our favorite spots because it's conveniently located near our abode and impeccably clean.

I find this beach to be much more peaceful compared to Playa Palmares, which is why I prefer it. To reach the beach, you can park on the side of the road and trek down a steep gravel hill. The water is pristine and the turquoise hue is breathtaking. However, the high waves can be a challenge for young swimmers. Also, there are a few rocks in the water to be aware of. There are only a handful of hotels along the shoreline, so it's not very crowded with hotel guests. The downside is that there are hardly any vendors, which means no rental options for umbrellas or chairs.
