Latest reviews on Barra de Santiago's beaches

Costa Azul beach

8 Huong Tran.

This serene beach is a hidden gem with minimal crowds and a tranquil atmosphere. However, the lack of infrastructure is noticeable, as only one café named Evelyn is available, while the rest are private ranchos. It's essential to exercise caution while swimming, especially if you're alone or not a strong swimmer, as the ocean can be treacherous. There are no lifeguards on the coast, so be mindful of the risks. I had a fantastic time spending the entire day here with my friends and would undoubtedly return for another visit.

The beach is truly beautiful, but the only downside I noticed is the street leading up to it. The entrance is unfortunately marred by a chaotic and unpleasant street.
