Known for its breathtaking views and pristine turquoise waters, it is often likened to a scene from a movie. The beach is surrounded by a beautiful mountain range, adding to its natural allure. The beach is characterized by its unique red sand, which mixes with the water at the seashore. However, it's important to note that the beach is not recommended for swimming or bathing due to the nature of the sand.

There is also a toll of 100 pesos for entry. Despite these changes, Playa El Morro remains a relatively quiet beach area, perfect for those looking to relax and enjoy the waves for hours.
