Las Galeras Beach
10 Rustam Timurovich

This beach in the heart of town is small but charming, with golden sand that adds to its appeal.

Breman Beach
10 Avei

This stunning beach is an absolute must-see destination! Its breathtaking beauty is simply unparalleled, and the experience of visiting is truly unforgettable. Don't miss out on the opportunity to witness the natural splendor of this incredible location.

Fronton Beach
8 Darian Hula

It's a mystery to me why so many people claim that the only way to reach this beach is by boat. There's actually a land route that can be taken in a variety of ways. To make things easier, I suggest downloading the alltrials app, which has detailed descriptions of the different routes. It's important to wear comfortable shoes (no flip-flops, please!) as the road can be quite steep at times. On rainy days, I'd recommend avoiding the beach altogether as the descent can be treacherous. Once you arrive, there are plenty of things to do. You can take a boat to Las Galeras (although it can be a bit pricey at 2000-2500 for two people), or you can enjoy drinks and food at the beachside bar. If you're feeling adventurous, you can also head south to Boca del Dragón or Playa Madama. Don't forget to bring your snorkeling gear! The underwater world here is

Madama Beach

The coastal area and surroundings are truly breathtaking, particularly when juxtaposed with one's hometown. Nevertheless, after experiencing Fronton beach, this specific beach pales in comparison. The beach lacks ample space for lounging and is quite untidy. It's best to bypass this location and make your way to Fronton beach instead.

Playa el Ermitano
4 Harrison Song

As we sauntered over from Playa Breman, a jaunt of about half an hour, we were greeted with a somewhat arduous route. And once we arrived at the beach, we found ourselves unable to take a dip due to the presence of stones and the unruly waves. This stretch of sand is also referred to as niningo beach, for those who are keeping track.

Playa Chiva
10 Nayla

This is my first visit to this location and I must say, it is absolutely stunning. There is a lovely, spacious pool and the beach is just a short walk away. The condos are fully equipped with all the essentials you need, such as kitchen tools, towels, a coffee maker, and even a washer and dryer. All you have to do is bring your own food and you're good to go. I highly recommend these condos if you happen to be in the area.
