Playa Manzaliña
★★★★★
(277)
Nice secluded beach with plenty of shade. The entrance from the beach can be rocky at some places. After a short swim from shore, the coral reef starts at 8 m/26 ft and gently slopes down. The best part of the reef is between 10-20 mtr/33-66 ft.
Some nice distinctive coral formations and large tube sponges. Scorpionfish, lionfish, and porcupine fish are easily spotted here.
