Sightseeing
Beautiful place for sunrise or sunset quiet walk. Less than 10 min from Studio Playa.
Shortcut Tip: from Studio take Av 1 to the right, then before Av CTM take the unpaved road that goes behind the Boat Lofts building, as soon as you exit go through the Reef Hotel parking lot to your left, at the end, on the right side you will find the entrance to the beach.
Note that since the area is Protected you won’t find any bars or services (That is actually what makes it special!) just at the end of it there’s a beach club
