The Beach
“Playa Puntarenitas sits directly across from the Crocodile Bay dock to the right. This stretch of sand reaches all the way to the point before curving around the corner toward the mouth of the Golfo Dulce, where it becomes Playa Platanares. Anglers will find excellent beach fishing right on the point itself. During low tide, you can walk the entire distance to the point and continue around to the beach in front of the (currently closed) Agua Dulce beach hotel.
Located nearly halfway between the point and Agua Dulce is a wonderful swimming and soaking beach, along with a nice spot for cold drinks and great food. While the Cahui Beach Club’s restaurant is open to the public, please note that the chairs and umbrellas near the water are reserved for Botanika’s guests. However, the beach and the gulf belong to everyone—so go ahead and enjoy!
Swimming
It is a great beach to swim at. Nice sandy bottom. The beach is not steep, so you can go out over 50 meters and still only be waist-deep.
Fishing
Fishing is off the hook. Live bait works the best. I have caught some great fish at the beach. You will see wildlife, mostly Scarlet macaws and seabirds
