This beach is an excellent choice for those seeking a secure and family-friendly swimming destination. However, the path leading to it is quite rough, so it's best to bring a higher vehicle. If the authorities were to enhance the accessibility, this location would undoubtedly become a popular tourist attraction in Chiriquí. It's advisable to come prepared with all the necessary equipment, as there aren't many amenities available.

If you are seeking a serene and tranquil beach for a family getaway, this is an excellent choice that will provide you with exactly what you desire: a pristine and inviting BEACH! However, it's worth noting that there isn't much else to explore in the vicinity. If you wish to venture further out into the public use area, it's highly recommended that you use a 4x4 vehicle to avoid the possibility of getting stuck in the sand.
