Porto Rico Beach
Plage Porto Rico
A wild beach on the Atlantic coast about 30 km south of the city, where golden cliffs meet a long stretch of sand, one of Dakhla's most famous beaches.
The beach lies along the coast on the mainland side, south along the N1 highway. Beneath the cliffs is a vast stretch of sand, seldom visited, and at low tide reefs and tide pools are exposed, where fishermen can often be seen fishing from the cliffs. There are no facilities at all, so bring your own food, water and shade. It is best visited with a local guide or on a four-wheel-drive group tour, and it can be combined with Imlili Salt Marsh and Puertito for a southern day trip. The Atlantic waves are large and the currents strong, so be cautious if you go into the water.
