Can be crowded, lots of vendors, waves can be strong. If you order from some of the restaurants, you can use their chairs, e.g. Coco Tropical, some places will bring out buckets of beer.

Great family beach with many excellent restaurants facing the ocean. You can follow the beach and walk into the center of town, about one mile, or go inland and find many excellent restaurants and great shopping.

Major Chill Factor. Make reservations, come, chill out and enjoy the view. Try too come just before Sun Set. The food and service are excellent. Eat anything Fish. That is just logic. Everything else is great too. Enjoy!!

Isolated area in the middle of the city. Great views, nice place to sunbathe and rent a shaded beach chair. A good mile sandy beach walk. Lots of places to have a snack and a drink. Blue Chairs is a little expensive with low standards, just walk aside and you will be done.

Playa de los Muertos had a restaurant at the edge of the beach so that you can eat and drink while you enjoy the beach.

I love to stay and never leave the Olas Altas area and Los Muertos beach. My favorite little lady grills fish and shrimp and we sit and enjoy the beach at a nice table with an umbrella. You can buy anything else to eat or bring your own. Even just pick up some beer and sandwiches. no hassle except for... More
