Prieta Beach

Posted on August 13, 2025February 19, 2025 by Ultimate Guide

About: This beach, like Penca Beach just before, is accessed via a turnoff to the left on the road from Potrero to Las Catalinas. However, this road is more difficult to access and requires a 4×4 SUV. It is even less crowded for this reason and because parking is limited. Arrive early on busy days. The sand and water are clear. There are trees that provide shade.

Starting from: Flamingo

Time to reach from starting location: 15 minutes

Time needed for activity: as much as you want

Kid friendly: Yes
