User reviews

"The shoreline is truly stunning, however, it may not be the best spot for swimming enthusiasts. Located on this beach is the Cueva las Golondrinas, a cave that has remained uncovered by the ocean for a couple of years now. It would be wise to make the most of this chance to explore it."

Aurora Sanchez

"The beach was absolutely stunning! While it may not be the best spot for swimming, our children thoroughly enjoyed frolicking along the shoreline and were hesitant to leave as they were having so much fun. We took a leisurely stroll to Cueva Golondrinas, however, we were unable to access it even though we went at the lowest tide. This occurred during the early to mid-Novembe..."
