Playa Panteón

Fodor's Review:

The most popular swimming and sunning beach in Puerto Angel proper, this 660-foot-long, brown-sand beach has calm, waveless water, which makes it great for swimmers and children. A walkway past the oceanfront panteón (cemetery) links it with Playa Principal, Puerto Angel's main beach. Ask about boat services at the informal restaurants along the beach.
