Fodor's Expert Review Playa Solanas

The famous Casapueblo museum and hotel sit above this calm beach, also called Portezuelo, at Punta Ballena. Its shallow water shielded from the wind makes it a favorite of families with small children. Great sunset views are a plus here, too. Amenities: lifeguards; showers; toilets. Best for: sunrise; sunset; swimming; walking.
