There is a small beach in La Boca, but if you prefer to go to a bigger beach with the hotels and bars there and lots of tourists, then this is it. the beach is beautiful, but not always clean. Personally I prefer to go just outside of La Boca along the coastline, there are beautiful little pockets of sandy/beach that locals have set up shot and rent snorkeling gear. very peaceful and quiet atmosphere and definitely beautiful.

Warning re food & drinks at the Beach
A friendly warning that if you wish to eat at the beach or have a cocktail or any mix drink that contains ice, there is a 1/4 chance you will get sick! Why? The short answer is that the restaurants and bars at the beach are all government owned and the workers don't care at all about hygiene and such! They do NOT wash their hands and will make your food or drinks with the same dirty hands!
