User reviews

"This charming beach is a well-kept secret among the locals, and as a result, it lacks the usual amenities such as lifeguards and facilities. The waves on the South Coast are gentle, making it an ideal spot for children to play in the water. Additionally, it's conveniently located near the Pattern Energy Wind Farm in Santa Isabel."

Brenton Lane

"This beach is a great spot for kiteboarding, with consistently strong winds and calm waters. The community of people here are friendly and welcoming to newcomers."

What to do in Playa Jauca? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

Extremes can be moderate or excessive, so if you are a fan of the first type, than Playa Jauca welcomes you, offering kite and windsurfing. If on the contrary, it is not your kind of activity, we recommend you to find another beach, since the presence of lots of kite surfers on water can have a negative impact on the comfort of your leisure.

There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Playa Jauca. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.
