Playa La Madera
A small bay within walking distance east of the town center, with calm, shallow water for swimming and a hillside hotel offering views over the whole bay.
Playa La Madera is close to the town center and is reached in a few minutes along the wooden boardwalk by the sea, starting from the Fishermen’s Boardwalk. The beach is short but quiet, making it suitable for swimming and families. Affordable hotels and restaurants on the slope have excellent views of fishing boats coming and going in the bay. It was once a timber loading pier, and its name “Madera” means “wood.” After sunset, it is convenient to walk back along the boardwalk to the town center for dinner.
