An unforgettable place with super friendly and helpful people. I recommend them to go alone, with friends or as a family to relax and get rid of stress. Eat a good plate of shrimp, fish or a curiles ceviche. The beach is very quiet and the sand is black, sometimes at night you can see how the turtles lay eggs
