I was attacked by the man “operating” the shaded areas by the beach. We just arrived and no one was at the shaded area so we laid by the shade. A few minutes later a man who was sleeping away from the beach came and asked us to pay. We politely said that we didn’t know we had to pay and we will leave, he asked us to pay again but we didn’t have cash on us which we explained. He reacted by grabbing my sunglasses, throwing them and breaking them, and kicking me in the arm when I tried to leave. In addition, the beach has trash everywhere.

It's the first beach you come across on the way to Playa Grande... Small, super quiet and with a small tent rental service

A very nice beach, quite large and less crowded than Playa Grande. Snorkeling is possible. There are few pebbles, making it perfect for laying out your towel!
