Playa Flamenco has outdoor showers for rinsing off, a place to camp, bathrooms plenty of trashcans, and food/drink vendors. If you visit... More

The beach was absolutely beautiful! White sand and blue water. The waves were EXTREMELY rough in November. I am a very strong woman and the waves barreled over me like I was a twig.
