Playa Ojo de Agua is a breathtaking hidden beach located off the beaten path. This semi-private spot is known for its beautiful golden sand and strong waves and currents. Due to the strength of the waves, it is not recommended for young ones or for swimming. The beach is also characterized by its rocky and wild nature, making it a perfect spot for those who enjoy hiking or simply taking in the scenery.
Access to the beach is relatively easy, with a good amount of parking available. Visitors are advised not to park on the street, but to drive on the path until they reach a parking area. From there, a walk down to the beach is required, which is described as easy. The beach tends to be very secluded, offering plenty of shade and soft sand. It is also pet-friendly, as evidenced by visitors bringing their dogs.
The beach is reached by walking down an unmarked, uneven, and rocky trail. At the split in the trail, visitors should take the left path to reach this hidden gem. The beach features turquoise and sparkling water crashing against the rocks, and is home to a variety of crabs. A swing hanging from a chain has also been installed for visitors to enjoy.
Despite its beauty, the beach has been noted for its litter problem. Visitors are urged to pick up after themselves to preserve the beauty of the location. Additionally, those driving to the beach should ensure their vehicles do not have oil leaks, as the beach has underground water that surfaces on the beach.
