Be sure to explore the waters of Playa Chica just next to the beach. The underwater volcanic rock formations sheltering fish and barnacle species make this an intriguing experience.

Windsurfers are a common sight in these ideal conditions. Watch them skim the waves or head to a local windsurfing school and learn the adrenaline-charged sport yourself. Other thrill-chasers can rent a Jet Ski or go banana boating.
