Beach description
Like a horseshoe, the beach is surrounded by capes from both sides. The water is shallow near the beach line, and further the depth increases. In autumn and winter, when the waves are the highest here, this place is perfect for surfing. While the waves are low, you can rent a boat on the beach and go fishing in the ocean.
In the surroundings, there are cozy chalets and guest houses. You can settle in a temp near the ocean, where a tourist camp is located. In the national park, more than 60 walking paths are organized. You can visit the rose garden where about 300 pieces of roses bloom. Also, from the viewpoint, you will be able to watch whales if their migration season matches your vacation.
You can get to Las Achiras only by tour bus or car. It takes 3.5 hours to get to the beach from the capital city.
