Playa de Los Muertos is a beach known for its natural beauty and tranquility. It is set back from the road, giving it a more secluded feel. The beach is characterized by its rocky terrain in the water, which can make swimming a bit challenging. However, there are a few spots where one can take a dip when the water is calm. Despite the rocky nature, the calm beach and beautiful view make it a popular spot for relaxation.
The beach is accessible via a stone walkway that leads from a path beside a vacant house, Villa Lisa. This path also passes by a mangrove swamp, which is home to a variety of bird species. This makes the beach a good spot for bird watching and photography. At the east end of the beach, visitors can watch boats leave and enter from the exit of Laguna Gri Gri. The west end of the beach features a grassy patch where the waves create breathing holes in the rocks.
The beach is not typically crowded, especially on weekdays, making it ideal for families and those seeking a quiet place to relax. Visitors are advised to bring their own chairs for comfort. The beach is also a great spot for watching the sunset, especially for couples seeking a private, romantic spot. However, visitors are advised to bring a blanket and to watch out for ants.
Best restaurants near Playa de Los Muertos include El Mangle Restaurante, Restaurant Cheo's, Coral Restaurant, La Casita de la Playa and Le Cafe de Paris.
Visitor reviews highlight the tranquility and privacy of the beach, with its beautiful views, clean water, and opportunities for exploration and photography. The beach is also appreciated for its family-friendly atmosphere and its suitability for watching sunsets. However, visitors complain about the rocky waters making swimming dangerous and the poor state of the local graveyard.
