Playa La Esperanza

Playa La Esperanza is a beautiful beach known for its crystal clear waters. It is located within a natural reserve, offering a paradisiacal setting with panoramic scenes. The beach is somewhat secluded, providing a sense of security and tranquility. It is accessible through a gate, leading onto a dirt road that ends in a dirt parking lot. From the parking area, it's a short 10-minute walk to the beach.

The beach's natural characteristics include a natural pool behind a barrier, shallow waters with not too strong currents, and nearby rock masses. These rock formations provide spots for adventurous visitors to jump into the water. The beach is also surrounded by foliage, offering shade for visitors.

The beach offers a range of amenities. It is a great place for families, including dogs, and is equipped with trails for jogging. There are two areas for swimming - one with no waves, perfect for toddlers, and another with deeper waters and strong currents for more adventurous swimmers. Snorkeling is also popular at Playa La Esperanza, with beautiful fishes visible along the reef and in the common swimming areas.

Parking is available in a dirt lot at the end of the access road. However, visitors are advised to pin their location if they park in the forest parking area due to a locked gate.

Despite its natural beauty, the beach does face some challenges. High tides can bring trash, including bottles, to the shore. Visitors are encouraged to bring water shoes for safety and to help keep the beach clean by taking their trash with them. Despite these minor issues, Playa La Esperanza remains a nearly private oasis for relaxation and enjoyment.
