- Long walk on the white sand: The beach itself is the draw, a broad, pale strip backed by coconut palms, with enough space to wander far along the surf line without meeting anyone.
- Palapa seafood lunch: Family-run shacks right on the sand grill fish, shrimp and octopus and serve ceviche, so you eat with your feet half buried.
- Laguna de Potosí boat trip: Nearby, a lagoon with mangrove channels and plenty of herons, egrets and other waterbirds, reached by small local boats from Barra de Potosí.
- Sunset from the shoreline: The beach faces the open Pacific, so the sun drops straight into the horizon and the sky goes orange over the foam. There is no nightlife, only stars once it is dark.
- Wave watching and shallow wading: The swell here is powerful and the surf breaks heavily, so it is best for paddling
