User reviews
"Playa Marina del Este may be tiny, but it's authentic. Unfortunately, the water is full of big rocks and sometimes the clarity isn't great, making it less than ideal for swimming. There's a decent eatery nearby, along with showers and a restroom - though the latter could do with some sprucing up."
Lina Inga Johansson
"That place is a true paradise, with its natural beauty, facilities, parking, and beach restaurant. You can also rent umbrellas and sunbeds, making it the perfect spot to relax. Snorkeling is great here, though it can get a bit crowded with divers and spearfishers. But don't worry - there's plenty of space on the sand, even if the waters are a bit busy."
