Tip from tour guide
If you're a beach lover, make sure to check out the lovely Paradisiaca Playa La Mina. The crystal-blue water of this beach is perfect for swimming, and the surrounding rock elevations add a bit of seclusion to the area. You can also take your sun umbrellas there and bask in nature's full glory or play a beach game with your friends.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on October 27, 2024.
