Cerro Tijeretas adds height and a coastal panorama to an otherwise low-lying town stay. The trail connects naturally with the interpretation-center area, but the climb deserves its own time. Look for frigatebirds while taking in the coastline, and judge any swim below the hill separately.
What to look for
A hilltop trail looks across the coast
Frigatebirds give the viewpoint its local name
Useful to know
Reach the trail through the interpretation-center area.
Allow for steps and exposed sections; swimming below the hill is a separate condition-dependent activity.
