Here you can enjoy both the beach and the river. Most people prefer the river; the beach is nice, but you should be careful of the currents. There are beach houses for rent for a night and a day or longer, and restaurants where you can spend the day if you order something. Depending on the season, you can also find ranches for rent and bring your own food and drinks. If you plan to visit, contact us for a quote on your trip in one of our minibuses or cars. We have capacity from 4 to 30 passengers. Visit our Google profile for contact information.

One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. I love that it's almost undeveloped with tons of bars and restaurants, has good waves, and very little trash. I hope that mass tourism doesn't reach this beach, just like it did at El Tránsito (a beach I didn't like for this very reason).
