Bahía Cacaluta
A heart-shaped, unspoiled bay in the national park, backed by mangroves and dunes, with snorkeling around the islet at its mouth.
Bahía Cacaluta is one of the most beautiful bays in the national park. Its crescent-shaped beach is shaped like a heart and is backed by dunes, a mangrove lagoon, and dry forest, with no commercial facilities at all. Coral is abundant around Cacaluta Island at the bay mouth, making it a snorkeling stop for tour boats. You can also reach it on foot via a trail from the roadside, about an hour's walk, so go with a companion and carry plenty of water. Waves and currents can be strong off the beach at times, so swim with caution.
