Although some locals may act possessive of the beach, it remains a pleasant spot for a break. However, the parking area is situated on a steep incline, making it challenging for smaller vehicles, and it's located alongside a busy highway.

The beach holds a special place in my heart, as it is a place of remembrance and reflection for me. In February 2022, I visited to pay tribute to my son who passed away in November 2021. Returning in December 2022, I found solace in this peaceful location as I scattered some of his ashes. I had always dreamed of bringing my son here to enjoy its beauty, and I recited a quote from his favorite book, Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea," as a way to honor his memory. This beach also holds significance as a place to honor my son's service as a US Marine.

Las Cucharas Beach is a serene and tranquil destination that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The beach is a haven for snorkelers, with an abundance of sea life that is sure to impress. For those who are more adventurous, scuba diving is a must-try activity, as the coral reefs are simply breathtaking. It's worth noting that this beach is a Natural Reserve, which is protected by DRNA, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers.
