Ojo de Agua Beach
Playa Ojo de Agua
A small bay ringed by reddish-brown cliffs, named after a freshwater spring at its edge, with calm waves and clear water that's ideal for swimming.
Playa Ojo de Agua lies north of the lighthouse and is one of the best beaches in Cabo de la Vela for swimming. The curved little bay is enclosed by ochre-red cliffs, and the sea takes on a turquoise hue. On the cliffs is a freshwater spring with a legend among the Wayuu people. The beach has no shade, so bring your own water and sunscreen. Tours usually bring visitors here together with the lighthouse and Pan de Azúcar hill, by 4WD or mototaxi arranged through the village, and a small entrance fee is charged per person.
