Chino Beach — Attraction in Cahuita

A not-so hidden gem right in the middle of Puerto Viejo. This is a great little beach for families with children - from toddlers to 10 year olds! The reef protects this area from any large swells or waves. The water here is very shallow with a gentle, sandy slope into the ocean. It almost seems like a huge outdoor swimming pool because of the shallow depth and calm water. From the waters edge, it's about 15 meters out before you reach a depth of 1 meter. Obviously the tides affect this, but you get the general idea. There is also a cool old boat that is anchored in place that the kids can play on and jump off of. Also convenient is the availability of some great food (and drinks!)...

Nice and beautiful beach with waveless place between two small boats. Also there are few bars facing this beach which is very convenient, we took some cocktails and smoothies for baby while enjoying the see breeze, than can leave your drink and go swimming and come back. Would definitely come back again...

Fun side of town. Safe for kids to swim, light are kept on till late, so we swam till 10:30pm. The whole place is such a vibe, they have public fire show in the evening and some local artists come and person some times. The best part is the safe swimming areas...
