    Nice beach to spot wildlife such as iguanas, sea lions and various kinds of birds. We spotted the most birds in the rocky area at the northern part of the beach. Earlier in the day you can snorkel with sea turtles as well.
  • By Chris Porter
    Beautiful sand beach with tons of sea lions and a lighthouse on one side. Great place to relax and watch the sea lions. I have heard that this beach can have aggressive male sea lions so take that into account when going here 😁
  • By Gaby Cc
    A lot of sea lions and marine iguanas. You can visit after Cerro Tijeretas or get here from Playa Mann.
  • By Surf Peru
    Gorgeous beach.... tons of sea lions basking on the beach and in shade trees. Near a surf break.
  • By Kim Kubrick
    Perfection. Long white sand beach strand with a scenic faro. Sea lions, iguanas and sea turtles in numbers. Get there after a 5mn smooth rocky path. Great spot at sunset.
