Playa Conchas Chinas
A rocky little bay south of Los Muertos, with clear water and few visitors, where you can snorkel among tide pools to watch fish.
The beach is made up of several small sandy coves separated by rock outcrops, which form natural tide pools. When the water is calm, you can snorkel to see small tropical fish, making it one of the quietest swimming beaches in the city. Surrounding it are upscale residences and hotels built into the hillside, with few facilities, so bring your own water and shade. From Los Muertos Beach, walk 15–20 minutes along the seaside rock path, or take a southbound bus and get off at the roadside to walk down the steps to the beach. The rock path may be submerged at high tide.
