Tips from locals
- Black sand beach is beautiful and is a nice flat 15 minute nature walk. Definitely worth a visit but you won't spend all day there. - Wildlife refuge beaches (Caracas/Red Beach and La Chiva/Blue beach) have cabanas for shade and are great for snorkeling, but you must leave the gated area by 6pm. - Bastimento beach is on the north shore and is very shallow and calm water with a natural breakwater. Great for little kids - Mosquito pier also has good snorkeling. Drive toward the end and park near the boulder stairs on the left.

Requires walking. There’s a 10 minute hike to get to the beach . Please wear sandals or water shoes because the sand gets really hot .
One of the most dramatic and extraordinary landscapes is Playita Negra, where the turquoise waves brush against the black-sand shore. A refreshing sight for beach lovers, the color of this beach derives from the offshore volcanic rocks. The beach is surrounded by golden cliffs, short bushes, and driftwood that make the scenery awe-inspiring. While this is not a swimming beach, due to the rip currents, this spot is perfect for hiking (about two miles long), relaxing, and enjoying the lavish natural surroundings. You can access this “secret beach” through Playa Esperanza.
