Playa Pan de Azúcar

Fodor's Review:

Playa Pan de Azúcar (Sugar Bread Beach) has a quality that can be hard to come by in this area: privacy. With only one built-up property, the entire stretch of brown-sugar sand feels practically deserted. The north end of the beach has some good snorkeling, and the swimming is good here—the ocean floor is soft and sandy. Playa Penca, a short walk south along the beach, has good swimming as well.
