The beach was a sight to behold, and we had the privilege of experiencing it in solitude. Boca Brava island was home to a plethora of playful monkeys that added to the charm of the place.

The beach is petite in size, with a charmingly somber sand that adds to its secluded ambiance. The presence of rocks along the shore adds a touch of ruggedness to the scenery. However, reaching this hidden gem requires a moderate hike that takes around 20 minutes, making it all the more exclusive.

Although the beach isn't terrible, the journey to reach it is quite an adventure and may not be worth the effort. The paths leading to the beach are not well-defined and it's easy to miss the small sign indicating the turnoff to Playa Christina. However, considering the limited options available on the island, having a secluded beach to oneself is a definite perk.

Upon setting foot on this beach, one can't help but feel like a character in a deserted island film. The serene atmosphere and lack of crowds make it seem like a private oasis. It's almost as if you've stumbled upon a secret paradise, far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
