Local Beaches include Playas Grande, Playa Ventanas and Playa Carbón have great surf, sand, sun, shells and snorkeling. Consistent swells make Playa Grande a good surf spot year round. Swimming, boogie boarding, beach walking and sunbathing are other principal beach activities, but snorkeling is also popular at Playa Carbón. During nesting season, turtle watching is the main nightlife activity.
Sports: Surfing is the most popular and prevalent sport in Playa Grande. Surf shops and instructors abound, making it a perfect place to escape to the waves or to learn. Swells alternate between highs and lows, and make this shore a challenge for all skill levels. Those not quite ready to brave a surf board may be enticed with a boogie board; a short, light weight, foam board that you lie on. Paddle out, catch a wave and a good ride on a boogie board will wash you ashore.
Adventures: Tour companies offer many excursions departing from Playa Grande, including the turtle-watching treks and estuary tours. Horseback riding, sailing and snorkeling are also popular.
