Montezuma beach, oh what a delight! A perfect spot for a dip in the sea. However, you might want to hold your nose as you wade through the water, as it's been "enhanced" with some boat exhaust fumes. And don't forget to thank the local houses for their contribution to the stream flowing right through the beach, carrying their waste with it. But hey, at least you get to witness the constant arrival and departure of boats filled with tourists heading to the Tortuga Islands. So, if you're into polluted waters and boat traffic, Montezuma beach is your paradise!

This charming beach is primarily utilized for boat taxi services and fishing activities. However, it is worth noting that the current can be hazardous, and it is recommended that you take a brief 10-minute stroll to the east if you wish to frolic in the water. Nonetheless, this spot is an ideal setting for capturing stunning photos during the early morning or evening hours.

This charming beach is a true gem, and what's more, it's just a leisurely stroll away from the stunning Montezuma waterfall. Taking a bus from Santa Teresa, we embarked on a delightful day trip to this picturesque location. The beach itself is simply lovely, with crystal-clear waters and soft, powdery sand. The peaceful atmosphere and breathtaking scenery made for a truly unforgettable experience.
