The beach area is simply lovely, with its pristine sands and crystal-clear waters. However, it's worth noting that there is a small fee of $0.50 to use the toilet facilities and $1 for a refreshing shower. Nonetheless, the beauty of the beach and its tranquil surroundings make it a worthwhile visit.

The beach is a stunning location, with the added bonus of being able to spot Iguana Island in the distance. For those who wish to explore the island, boat rentals are available. Unfortunately, on the particular day of my visit, the water was too choppy to make the journey.

The pristine beach exudes a sense of tranquility and purity, with crystal clear waters lapping at the shore. It is a popular spot for avid fishermen, who can be seen casting their lines and reeling in their catch. Additionally, there is a charming little fonda nearby, although I did not have the opportunity to visit it.

This beach is an absolute delight for us. Every time we visit, we come across something fascinating, be it the assortment of boats lining the shore, gearing up for their journey to Isla Iguana, or the abundance of wildlife in the vicinity. We particularly relish swimming near the river's mouth as the waves are calmer in that area.

This beach is an absolute gem, full of beauty and excitement. Not only can you revel in the sun, sand and sea, but you also have the option to hop on a boat taxi and explore the stunning Isla Iguana. To add to the fun, there are cantinas and a boat launch conveniently located nearby. This is the perfect spot for a day of adventure and relaxation.
