Playa La Ciénaga

Beach Full day difficulty: Moderate with kids: yes
Playa La Ciénaga

A fishing village on the Caribbean with the world's only larimar mines hidden in the mountain — the blue stone found nowhere else on the planet.

With kids

  • Explore the fishing village and see the colorful boats
  • Play on the pebble beach by the sea
  • Buy a polished larimar stone as a keepsake
  • Learn about the Taíno and their use of larimar
Accessibility: 12+ years for the mines — the beach is fine for everyone

With family

  • Split the day: morning at the mines (adventurous adults), afternoon at the beach (everyone)
  • Buy raw larimar and learn its unique story
  • Have fresh fish for lunch in the village
  • Take the family photo with a larimar stone and the Caribbean behind
