Playa La Boquita

Very clean beach and the water shimmers a mesmerizing gold colour. It's considered one of the favourites in the area for younger children but on a windy day, the waves are still pretty large and rough.

But it is a fun place to hang with family cool down and relax. Self notes...take soap...10pesos for clean wash water when...

This is a nice place to visit if you get a chance I recommend that you get here early and rent an umbrella for an average of $180 pesos. You can rent a jet sky for around $500 pesos, they also offer boat trips. They have local food restaurants and many options to buy different souvenirs. Plan in advance to spend a whole day here. You can also rent a condo or vacation home at an affordable price in Colinas de Santiago which is about 1 mile away from...
