Gorgeous beach really calm to take a swim with all the family almost no waves
Clean, quiet, elderly and kids frendly
My review works best for vessel based visitors. That said we have been visiting this area since 2013. There are several palapa restaurants on the Las Islitas road. You can come by boat, car or taxi or collectivo taxi. From San Blas it is only 15 minutes or so. From anchor in the bay, aim for the big green building on the beavh. We like to visit Varo and Alicia at Playa Hermosa restaurant. It's just west of the big green building. A hint is to sit at a table up by the kitchen to avoide the jejenes, a little... Food and drinks are excellent! (Shrimp cevichi, huevos rancheros, platanos con lechera). You are dining in a little piece of paradise!
Great sea food, baked sweet breads , gifts, views, water temp, tans, and times!
Restaurant at the seashore... Typical seafood like ceviche, pescado zarandeado, empanadas de camarón. Tasty and fresh.
Try Ismael " El Chino " place Best food
Just another small beach town. Be sure to go on the nearby crocodile tour.
Amazing sea and scenery

This is a very long and wide sandy and relaxing beach with very few people. If only there were fewer mosquitos. Still worth visiting
Great beach, fantastic waves most days, delicious restaurants. Federico y Lucia is my favorite but they are all great. Stoners Surf Camp is a killer place to go if you want surf lessons or need to rent a board.
Nice beach with a lot of restaurants the beach is not recommended for child's big waves
MOTHER OF GOD DO NOT GO HERE. THE SAND FLEAS WILL EAT YOUR SOUL. BRING MOSQUITO SPRAY WITH DEET IF YOU WANT TO SURVIVE HELL.
Clean clear sand and great area for a good time.
Visit this place... like me, you may never leave
(Translated by Google) It's a quiet and very pleasant beach. The current and waves are strong, making it only recommended for those who can swim well. The access is a bit long, and if you're not careful, you'll have to walk through a restaurant. There are a lot of mosquitoes. (Original) Es una playa tranquila y muy agradable, la corriente y el oleaje es alto y solo recomendable para gente que sabe nadar bien. El acceso es un poco largo y si no se está atento se tiene cruzar un restaurante. Hay muchos moscos.

Mini Zoo with many alligators, a jaguar, and a few other animals. This place has a water spring, cristal clear, very inviting to swim.
We stopped here on our jungle cruise. The setting was beautiful and there was a wide variety of animals, especially lots of crocodiles of various ages. There was a place to swim too. Well worth the 25 peso admission.
Awesome place! They've kept the natural feel around it and you can actually just bump into a crocodile! (Scary, right?) You should totally take the (and your camera) and visit this place! Go for a nice swim in the cold water too!
You go on a board and they take you through a winding river and I saw a couple of crocodiles and some birds and turtles which was really cool then we make a pit stop at a crocodile sanctuary where you can see them up close and it's so cool they have a Swimming area where you can Swim with fish! The second pit stop was a only a swimming area as well and there was a restaurant there but they took forever to give us the food because they forget we even ordered. Recommend taking this trip!
A great tour up the river we saw many small croc,and a 20 foot one on the bank before we arrived at cocodrilario, The boat ride up and down the river is well worth the 800 pesos.2.5 hours in total return.
Beautiful place with nice spot to swim, sadly the animals are keep it in cages, 2.5 km from Matanchen harbor with stone road
Just a beautiful place to visit..its a must, if tou do, take some swimming wear and do it earlier in the day.
