Avellana Beach

Posted on April 11, 2026April 23, 2025 by Ultimate Guide

About: This is a great all-around beach. You can swim, surf, walk, sunbathe, and play in the sand. It is great for families. There are tidepools and it is great for watching the sunset. There are vendors on the beach and restaurants nearby. Perhaps most famous is a picturesque wooden bridge or walkway that goes through mangroves and is reminiscent of Florida. The walkway starts (or ends) right on the beach. The other end is a private hotel entrance with a locked gate that is for guests only. Many people like to take pictures here or simply look for wildlife in the mangroves. Walk north on the beach from the street where you park until you reach the wooden walkway.
