Along the Bay from Las Perlas to Playa Tortugas

Why go

This shoreline day suits travelers who enjoy comparing beaches and are comfortable with substantial walking between them. Begin at Playa Las Perlas near the city end of the Hotel Zone, continue east to Playa Langosta, and finish at the smaller strand beside the boats at Playa Tortugas. Each beach has its own visit time, so there is room to sit and watch the bay instead of walking continuously. The links follow public streets and marked access points; do not assume an uninterrupted beach path. Carry water and use the marked crossing at Tortugas. Check flags at every stop before entering the water.
