The water is peaceful and the food is decent, with multiple restaurants available but none standing out.
This beach is a great place to catch the sunset, and it only takes about 15-20 minutes to hike here. Even if you're under the influence of shrooms, the hike is still pretty manageable. Getting to the rooftop may require a bit more effort, but as long as you arrive early, you'll be able to find a comfortable spot to sit.
Zipolite beach is undoubtedly my go-to destination for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation. The tranquil atmosphere of the beach makes it the perfect spot to bask in the sun, take a refreshing dip in the ocean and indulge in a quick siesta. And if you're looking for the perfect vantage point to catch the sunset, look no further than this stunning beach. It's simply the best!
We had an amazing time fishing with Disfruta la Pesca con Gume! The beach was fantastic, and we enjoyed some delicious food at the Le Pecador restaurant. It's also a perfect spot to observe the boats coming and going from the Harbor.
The tranquility of the waves at this beach is unparalleled, especially when compared to the more turbulent waters of Zipolite.
