Bahía Maguey
A bay inside the national park that can be reached by car, with palapa seafood restaurants behind the beach. A top choice for snorkeling and family swimming.
Bahía Maguey sits on the eastern edge of the national park and is one of the few bays you can drive to. Its waters are calm with small waves, and along the rock walls on either side there are corals and schools of tropical fish. Snorkel gear can be rented on the beach. The palapa restaurants behind the sand serve grilled fish, prawns, and cocktails, and renting umbrellas and loungers usually requires a food or drink purchase. Bay tour boats often stop here for lunch. It is about 15 minutes by car from Santa Cruz, and it gets busier with local visitors on weekends.
