Playa Platanitos — Attraction in Compostela

This place is the best feet in the sand dining experience ever! Pescadao Sarandeado is unlike any fish you've ever had. Select your fish from the box of ice, watch it dressed, seasoned and anointed with God's own basting sauce as it grills over a manzanita fire.....with an iced bucket of Coronitas and all the salsas, salads and tortillas you could ask for... It's heaven. Make a day of your visit so you'll have time to eat twice. The restaurants are all housed in palapa-patio compounds that line the deep sandy beach along the spectacular sheltered bay.

Vale la pena ir y relajarse en esta playa no muy concurrida la mayor parte del año y tener bellos recuerdos en compañia de sus seres queridos. Muchas familias llevan sus propias sillas y sus alimentos o los preparan ahi mismo en las piedras hasta llevan carbon y asador para hacer sus guisos a...
