Why go
Choose this coastal outing if you enjoy comparing a busy urban beach with smaller, rockier shores. Playa Los Muertos offers a lively starting point, and the Original Boy on the Seahorse at Las Pilitas marks the move toward its southern end. Reaching Playa Amapas involves steps over El Púlpito and an uneven descent; allow extra time rather than treating the short map distance as an effortless stroll. Continue toward Playa Conchas Chinas for its coves and seawater pools, where careful looking matters more than covering ground. Wear footwear suited to rock and shells, and decide about entering the water from the conditions you find. The four stops make a slower beach day, not a race along the shore.
