Ideal for tourists by car who wish to cut a journey leading them to DAVID (which will only be around 45 minutes away) a huge beach of brown sand (don't take into account the small strip of white sand (developed?) in one of my photos) offering a few shaded areas and two small restaurant bars... We parked under coconut trees near arbors but there is (we realized later) parking on the right when you arrive at the beach. The swimming flag was red when we came and I think the ocean is permanently dangerous there for full swimming. The water is rather murky (probably due to the silt and black sand linked to the numerous mangroves in Chiriqui Bay). Cooling down to mid-calf is already very pleasant.

La plage est vraiment très belle. 12 kilomètres de long (coupés par l'embouchure d'une petite rivière) sans foules. Juste un ou deux hôtels, quelques maisons particulières, et des locaux qui viennent passer la journée et faire des barbecues le soir.
