Playa Los Muertos
Playa de los Muertos
The liveliest beach on the south side of the old town, with a sail-shaped pier reaching into the bay and dense beach bars, seafood stands and water activities.
The beach lies in front of the Zona Romántica (Romantic Zone). Its name means “Beach of the Dead,” said to come from a legend of early conflicts. Its landmark is the sail-shaped Los Muertos Pier, rebuilt in 2013, which is lit up at night and is a popular spot for watching sunsets and taking photos. It is also the dock for water taxis to Yelapa and Las Ánimas. The beach is full of sun loungers and dining bars, where you can eat grilled fish skewers (pescado embarazado). It can be crowded and lively, so keep an eye on your belongings. At the southern end is a gay-friendly beach area. Admission is free.
