Description

Awesome and lonely beach. Between Punta Uva and Manzanillo. Many places along the beach. At the end there is a river with fresh water perfect for swimming. Safe and very quiet.
Great view to Manzanillo at nigth. The access road is good and we didn´t have trouble with 3,2 of height.

Many amazing spots under the trees along the beautiful beach. For bigger and smaller rigs and tents. During the day may be some people but at night it's quiet and very pleasant.

Seguimos a marcação desse outro ponto e paramos um pouco antes do final da estrada. Ao longo da estrada há muitos espaços para ficar e passar a noite. Há muitos bugios, diversos animais e, claro, mosquitos há noite. Não encontramos nenhuma facilidade por perto, porém há sinal de 4G da Claro.

We followed the marking of this other point and stopped just before the end of the road. Along the road there are many spaces to stay and spend the night. There are many howler monkeys, different animals and, of course, mosquitoes at night. We didn't find any facilities nearby, but there is a 4G signal from Claro.

Came here on a Saturday after going to many other places around. Everything else was super crowded. This was more remote. Good for a swim and chill night before crossing the border the following morning. Lots of trees at a 45 degree angle, but our 2.8m high Ford Transit got through fine. One narrow stretch that will scrape your sides pretty good. We felt safe.

We stayed 2 nights here ! Perfect place ! During weekends people are coming to spend the day on the beach but it’s fine. We saw police several times. Very quiet and safe place. You can choose one of many spots there ! We recommend !

Probably should just stay here the rest of my life ...... Unfortunately have idiotic idea to drive all the way to Argentina so only stayed 2 nights. In other words: Best camp spot since Baja!

Other smaller spots along the access way. Very pour Claro signal. Wilder and less crowded than Punta Uva during the weekends, although perhaps slightly less scenic.

Superbe endroit, grand stationnement. Accessible avec notre van de 23 pieds mais je ne pense pas que plus long fonctionnerait. Malheureusement l'eau de la rivière est brouille, nous ne nous y sommes pas baignés et sommes retourné à punta Uva. Plus beau et privé selon nous.

Great location, large parking lot. Accessible with our 23ft van but I don't think longer would work. Unfortunately the water in the river is not so clear, we did not swim there and returned to punta Uva. More beautiful and private in our opinion.

Very beautiful spot right at the rivermouth, lots of other good spots, too. Stayed two nights completely undisturbed except for howler-monkey concerts 😁

Super beautiful spot. Playa Uva was very crowded even during the week and here there was almost nobody! You can choose from different spots. You can get coconuts from the palm trees and have a good time. Felt very safe.

A local swiss guy recommend this place, it is safer and quieter than playa Uva. Just keep a eye or better two on your belongings. We had no time left so we didn't stayed.

Playa hermosa y solitaria entre Punta Uva y Manzanillo. Muchos lugares a lo largo de la playa. Al final hay un río de agua dulce perfecto para nadar.
Hermosa vista de Manzanillo por la noche. El camino de acceso está muy bueno, no tuvimos problemas para entrar con nuestro camper de 3,2 m de altura.
