Snorkeling and Swimming
Explore beneath the tranquil waters of the Pacific Ocean, just a short drive to one the most beautiful beaches in Mal Pais. A secret spot at the far end of the Mal Pais road, this special cove is just on the other side of a towering rocky knoll, known also as “Playa los Suecos” or “Swedish Beach.” The last leg of the road to get here is sometimes very rocky, but drive-able with 4WD. Just turn left at the small Fisherman’s village. At the end of this road you’ll find a parking area and a trail down to the beach on the right.
A sandy cove is protected by a rock reef, where fish frolic in the surf. It’s a great area for snorkeling and swimming, and you can often find it deserted.!
Located next to Cabo Blanco’s protected marine reserve, this is a great spot for seeing fish, eels, octopus, sting rays, sea turtles, lobster, giant hermit crabs and more. There’s many racks, crevices, caves, and boulder fields for fish to hide in. Plus a rock reef outside protects this beach from heavy surf, making the water more calm. !
Guided tours are available, or rent snorkel gear and explore the are on your own.
