Playa Dantita

A short hike or low-tide rock crossing from Danta reaches a nearly empty cove of white sand.

Playa Dantita is a small, remote cove just past the point from Playa Danta, reached by crossing rocks at low tide or hiking a short forested trail around the peninsula. White sand and clear turquoise water back onto tropical shrubbery, and the beach typically sees only a handful of visitors even on weekends. There are no facilities of any kind.
