Penas Blancas - all beaches

Top! It's a great spot for a day out, with plenty of activities for everyone.

This public beach was great, but parking was limited near the road. Unfortunately we didn't spot any public bathrooms, but there was a life guard tower. The beach had more rocks than sand, but the black sand and pebbles still made it enjoyable.

A great spot to visit - it's free and there are showers. There's also a restaurant close by where you can use the restroom and change. Beer and other drinks are cheap - no more than $3 - so you can stay all day if you like. You can buy food to go, or you can reserve a table the day before. A taxi from the Port terminal is about $8 or less. Our driver gave us a tour of the area for 1 hour for $40, which we got from across the terminal. We asked him if he could give us a tour and he said yes - 2 hours for $80, 1 hour for $40. It was a fantastic price for 3 people. We also loved learning about the history of that beautiful place.

That place may look inviting, but the water is far from clean. It's not a pleasant experience wading in the murky depths.

A beautiful sandy seashore with a great beach bar that offers free Wi-Fi - what more could you ask for? Whether you're looking for a place to relax or a spot to get some work done, this is the perfect destination.

It's a bit of a trek to get down to the beach, and there's limited parking, so make sure to bring your own trash with you, and if you can, pick up any litter you see that doesn't belong to you.
