Playa Chorrillo! ➜ Solitude Amongst the Rocks!

If you are looking for a quiet, out of the way place to spend the day, Playa Chorrillo is the place! This beach is made up of three narrow coves between Playa Calahonda and Playa Carabeo with giant boulders that create intimate nooks and crannies.

Once you cross over from Playa Calahonda, wander through the maze of rocks until you find yourself a soft, sandy patch of beach... away from the tourist masses. Playa Chorrillo is the kind of place where you go to be alone... to relax to the sound of the crashing waves and calling gulls.

Why Visit Playa Chorrillo?

Visit Playa Chorrillo if you want to get away from it all. Here you will find very private nooks and crannies that are perfect for those that seek solitude and a quiet place to read...
