Playa La Penca and Playa Prieta

PLAYA LA PENCA

Playa la Penca is a very tranquil and beautiful beach stretching along a small cove bordered on either side by rocky points and jungle. The white and coffee sanded beach gets little wave action, making it a peaceful place to swim, picnic, and enjoy all day long. Spanning roughly a kilometer, this sheltered beach remains a well hidden treasure to be enjoyed.

PLAYA PRIETA

Playa Prieta is just south of Playa Azucar (Sugar Beach) and neighbors Playa Penca. It is a beautiful white and black sand beach formed around a small bay that spans about 400 meters. Prieta offers a spectacular view of the Flamingo Bay area and its surrounding beaches and islands. The clear blue waters contrast the abundant green vegetation that spans the length of the beach, making this a perfect place to swim, body surf, and lounge on the beach and catch some sun.
