Bavaro Beach
Be aware of the local vendors; they can be persistent! I almost bought a super overpriced souvenir but ended up walking away, and I'm glad I did. Just be polite and firm.
If you're planning to do any water sports, book them in advance. I thought I could just walk up and rent something, but the good stuff was all booked up for the day.
Playa Bibijagua
Check out nearby beach bars for happy hour deals around 4 PM. You can save some cash on cocktails while watching the sunset.
Don't forget to bring cash if you plan to rent umbrellas or chairs; many places don’t accept cards, and having cash on hand will just make things easier.
Macao Beach
My advice is to arrive around 10 AM for the best sun and fewer people. I got there later, and it was so crowded; it chilled the vibe a bit!
Playa Palmera
If you're considering water sports, my advice is to negotiate prices with local vendors. I found that I could save a lot by just asking for a better deal rather than going with the first price they gave me.
Get there by 9 AM to snag a nice spot under a palm tree. By noon, it can get crowded, and you'll be fighting for shade, which is a lifesaver in the heat!
Cortecito Beach
Playa de Arena Blanca
my advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. i ended up spending a bit too much on food and drinks at the local vendors. pack a cooler and you'll save money while enjoying a beach picnic with a view!
Playa Escondida
my advice is to arrive around 9 am when there are fewer tourists. the beach is more peaceful then, and it’s easier to snag a good spot with a great view
