Punta Ballena
★★★★★
(335)
Punta Ballena (Whale Point) is located between Playa Hermosa and Playa Panama. The dive site is the underwater extension of the peninsula separating both beaches. Great place to see lots of eagle rays and stingrays and many schooling fish.
On a clear day this is one of the top sites in the area. Lots of school of fish, eagle rays, stingrays and the occasional white tip reef shark. Great for macro as well.
