Beautiful deserted beach area near Baby Beach. Didn't spend much time here but if you like a quite spot with no frills (no restrooms, no restaurants) this is the place. More

This beach is right next to the oil refinery but had the least number of people. There were maybe 6 other people there. If you just look away from the refinery, a small pier with colorful fishing boats and the blue waters make up for the opposite view. There are more waves than Baby Beach but about the same as...

It's quiet, but some weeds growing up out of the sand. Not really scenic, but alright. More

We visited this beach during the week. The palapas are larger than other beaches, and the day we were there, not all were in use. We had the water all to ourselves! There is a little more surf here than Baby Beach (just around the corner) and there is a pier that is good for snorkeling around. You have to... More

We went here one afternoon. The beach is very small, secluded and there were only 2 other people there beside my friend and I. The water is very nice but the view of the oil refinery is not that appealing. There are no bathrooms, refreshment stands etc. We went just out of curiosity. More

It's sign is a little misleading, so when you stop to look over the wall were the sign is, you don't want to stay, but the actual beach is beautiful. Quiet. Calm water, and low wind. Perfect to get away. No bathrooms, no food, palm covered shelters, and a close view of the oil refinery. Take your beach chairs, cooler,... More
