Playa de Estero Rico

This location is quite secluded and not frequently visited by tourists. If you're seeking a unique and less popular destination, this would be the place for you. It is recommended to visit during the dry season, as I made the mistake of going in October and encountered difficulties. I was able to reach the location in a Toyota Yaris, but it would be better to have a vehicle with higher ground clearance, off-road tires, and 4WD. The journey to the beach is a slow and bumpy one, with narrow and unmarked roads. The road does not lead directly to the beach, but rather to a swampy area near the river. During low tide, you can walk across the long sandbar to reach the beach. Alternatively, there are a few locals who offer ferry services for a fee. Unfortunately, I was unable to reach the beach due to high water levels and the absence of the ferry operators. However, there were no other people around, so if privacy is what you seek, this location would not disappoint.
