This place is absolutely amazing! You can reach it by hiking through the surrounding woods and enjoying the fruits and vegetation along the way. Another option is to take a boat from playa Moron, which will get you there in less than 20 minutes.
Once you arrive, spend a few hours here indulging in activities like swimming, snorkeling, hiking, and observing cows wandering around. Don't forget to try some delicious fresh coconut water. Additionally, camping out here is also an option.
I haven't had the chance to camp out yet, but I will update this review once I do. Trust me, it's truly a beautiful experience. Unlike many other beaches, the water underneath has a cool current while the surface water remains warm. According to locals, this is because fresh water from the nearby mountains flows into the beach. The water is incredibly clear and refreshing. Make sure to explore the entire length of the beach by walking and swimming, as some areas are better than others.

This beach is absolutely fantastic for snorkeling! Just a short distance from the shore, you'll find an abundance of coral reefs. Around 30 yards away from the shoreline, we were immersed in approximately 25 feet of water surrounded by coral reefs on either side. We had the pleasure of witnessing a wide variety of stunning fish, and the crystal-clear water was truly breathtaking! Additionally, if you prefer swimming rather than snorkeling, there are also lovely areas along the beach to enjoy. However, I highly recommend bringing goggles or snorkel gear for the ultimate experience!

We had a fantastic week-long getaway with the kids in June. The food and drinks were excellent, and the beach was absolutely stunning. There were plenty of fish to observe, which the kids thoroughly enjoyed. The Aqua Park was also a big hit, providing lots of fun for the little ones. The rooms were well taken care of and equipped with everything we required. The staff members were incredibly friendly and always ready to assist. All in all, it was an amazing vacation! ❤️❤️❤️
