Playa El Quemaíto

Beach Half day difficulty: Moderate

Multicolored pebbles instead of sand give the water an impossible clarity — perhaps the beach with the most transparent water on the entire south coast.

With kids

Swim in calm, crystal-clear water with a life vest
Look for little colored stones among the multicolored pebbles
Float in the transparent water (water shoes required)
Hold a contest for who finds the prettiest stone

With family

Spend the day swimming in crystal-clear, waveless water
Bring everything you need — food, water, shade — there are no facilities
Explore the multicolored little stones along the shore
Make sure everyone wears water shoes because of the sea urchins
