Coconut Beach
6 Sylverix YT

I am delighted to share my experience of visiting the beach, which was truly remarkable. The stunning scenery of the vast ocean, coupled with the soft and warm sand, made for a perfect day out. The soothing sound of the waves crashing against the shore was incredibly calming and relaxing. The beach offered a range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and beach volleyball, which kept us entertained throughout the day. The clear blue water was refreshing, and the cool breeze was a welcome relief from the scorching sun. Overall, I had a fantastic time at the beach, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing day out.

Pena Plata Beach
10 Maxwell Renard

This beach is absolutely stunning and provides a perfect atmosphere for unwinding and destressing. It's an ideal spot for swimming and even offers camping options, although reservations with the owners are necessary.

Boong Beach

The beach is nice.

Ipil Beach
8 Kai L.

The sand is stunning and the water is crystal clear. The conservation efforts are impressive, with restrictions on the amount of boats and visitors allowed.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 4 beaches in the island, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
