This picturesque beach spans a considerable length, offering ample space for visitors to bask under the sun or engage in a plethora of activities such as swimming, sunbathing, beach volleyball, and leisurely strolls along the shoreline. Despite its allure, Playa La Ballena has few amenities, so plan your trip accordingly, although it does not have facilities like restrooms or provisions for visitors with disabilities, nor does it allow dogs or nude sunbathing.
