Beach worth exploring

Enjoyed this naturally clean, seaweed-free beach a lot and read a magazine that classed it as one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in the world. It’s the nicest one I’ve ever seen. I didn’t walk to the far end. Too far. Most people there...More

Nice surf town

Stayed here a week during February, it gets dusty so it might be nice to bring a bandana to put over your face if you rent a atv or motorcycle. Every one is really cool and friendly. We saw wild horses wondering the beach.
