Lively Isabela beach known for surfing, with bars and restaurants right on the sand. A reef at the west end breaks the waves and leaves a shallower area for wading; the rest of the beach often has strong currents.

North swells from November to March can make the water rough.

Tips

  • Swim only in the reef-protected corner and watch the red flags.
  • On weekends it fills up from midday; arrive early to park.
  • Walk east to Pozo de Jacinto, a blowhole in the rocks with a local legend.
