Doggy beach, the name says it already, people walk their dogs there. That may sound a bit gross, but believe us, it is not. Most people keep it clean and when you just walk around the corner there is this beautiful hidden spot with small pools so it’s nice with small children to be in the sea but not really in the sea. You can get there from van der Tweel (the one near papagayo beach), just drive past Papagayo and stay left, park at the end and there you can see an entrance of a hike. Just next to the gated area from the hotels. Walk your way down, go right and walk over the coral stones next to the sea, walk all the way to the end of the beach and then turn right, welcome to a truly beautiful Gem!

Take a cooling bag with some great bites and enough water and drinks. Some towels and maybe a parasol to create shade. Oh and of course don’t forget your swimming, and if you like, snorkeling gear.
