Apara Beach

This beach is a wonderful and serene spot to spend a weekend. There are several rental houses available, but be sure to bring insect repellent as the area is close to a forest. If you're planning a day trip, be sure to arrive early as parking is limited. The beach is ideal for those seeking peace and quiet, and there is a source of drinking water (at least it was when I visited) located next to the train tracks.
