Playa Biesanz
A small bay hidden in rainforest north of the resort area, with calm, clear water. Suited to snorkeling and family wading, and monkeys often play in the trees.
Playa Biesanz is reached by a path beside the main resort road, a walk of about 10 minutes downhill. Rocks at the bay mouth break the waves, so the water is calm. Visitors can snorkel to see tropical fish, or rent kayaks or stand-up paddleboards. The beach is small, with shade but limited facilities, and vendors occasionally sell drinks and coconuts. Locals come in greater numbers on weekends, so going in the morning is recommended. Entry is free. Do not leave food on the sand, to avoid raids by white-faced capuchins and raccoons.
