- The long beach walk: The sand runs wide and open, backed by coconut palms and steep green hills. Walking its length gives you the scale of the place, plus tide-line shells and fishing boats pulled up on the sand.
- Río El Valle river mouth: Here the river meets the Atlantic. The water is calmer and cooler than the sea, which makes it a safer place to cool off, and herons and local kids share the shallows.
- Horseback riding: Local guides run rides along the shore and up into the valley behind it. You see farmland and palms at a walking pace, which suits a beach with rough water.
- Fresh fish at the beach shacks: Simple kitchens along the sand serve the day’s catch, usually fried or in coconut sauce, with tostones and rice. Eat with your feet in the sand.
- Watching the surf: The Atlantic swell rolls in

- Watching the surf: The Atlantic swell rolls in hard and the break draws a few bodyboarders and the occasional surfer. Even from the shore it is a show, and a clear reminder why rip currents here deserve respect.
