Fodor's Expert Review Playa Tarará

Two km (1 mile) east of Bacuranao is a small stretch of white sand that's only accessible via a modern private residential area; tourists are welcome for a small fee. It's home to the 50-berth Marina Tarará/Club Naútica, site of the Old Man and the Sea Fishing Tournament every July. Here you can arrange boat rentals, yacht cruises, fishing trips, and diving or snorkeling excursions. There are also accommodations and a good restaurant at the Hotel Villa Armonía Tarará. Amenities: food and drink; water sports. Best for: snorkeling.
