Playa Nascacolo
The beach has clear water and gentle waves, perfect for swimming, hiking and diving. The beach is a favorite among tourists who travel in boats from different nearby hotels or other water transportation companies. Its unquestionable beauty makes Nacascolo a perfect corner of the North Pacific to walk along the seashore and enjoy the small estuary that is located at its southern end.
Playa Manzanillo
It is about one kilometer long and has very little swell so it is suitable for swimming. The light gray sand contrasts with the blue waters.
The beach is surrounded by tropical forest, as well as a nearby mangrove swamp.
Playa Iguanita
Just getting to this remote spot by car is an adventure. After making your way along a long dirt road surrounded by huge cattle farms, you will arrive at the Iguanita Wildlife Refuge. There, you can enjoy a beach of gray sand, few stones and gentle waves, fringed by ample vegetation. The site is still not frequently visited by tourists.
