Soft white sand, enough room to launch. The best place is at the right just in front of the flat water. The beach has a half U shape what makes it perfect for beginners, it also has sideshore wind that will take you to the shore in case of an emergency.

This beach is a 10 minutes boat ride from Chichiriviche. Once off the boat you can admire a marvellous huge extension of white sand and crystal clear waters and natural pools. This beach is part of a natural reserve, so there's not much there except for a great scene. Better to bring your own drink / food.

The beach continues for 1 km, then some big rocks separate it from playa Mayorquina.
The ticket boat for Playa Varadero is about 40.000 bolivares for the whole boat....if u are a group u can share!

ESPANOL:
Esta playa queda a 10 min. de Chichiriviche, al desembarcar podrás observar una inmensa extensión de playa de arenas blancas y aguas cristalinas, especial para quien disfruta de las olas del mar y tomar el sol, pues en esta playa las palmas no son muy abundantes, por lo cual es recomendable alquilar o llevar tu propio toldo. En esta playa existe servicio de toldos mas no de restaurante, por lo que es necesario ir equipado, algunos ostreros y artesanos frecuentan el lugar.
