Incredibly beautiful, empty and kilometers long white sandy beaches stretch along the Caribbean.

Undoubtedly without a very beautiful beach. Only, thanks to the seaweed and the change in climate, you won't be overwhelmed by the amounts that wash up here. And so bathing literally falls into the water. If you walk south to the next bay (Cortecito Beach) I personally find it nicer. Very gently sloping sandy beach with gentle waves........
