Really is quite stunning. Pink/white sand finely ground, bright turquoise water. There is a group of huts by the parking lot featuring a bunch of local stands providing food/ beverages/ sunblock, etc. the empanadas were amazing. Also beach chair and umbrella rentals for $10. Go during the week if possible, was not busy. Head left to see the old tanks... More

Crystal clear water, white powder sand..friendly people and never too crowded, a Flamenco Beach will surely stay a memorable visit. Even if you get there on weekend it's wonderful.

The beach was absolutely beautiful! White sand and blue water. The waves were EXTREMELY rough in November. I am a very strong woman and the waves barreled over me like I was a twig. It was impossible to relax while in the water. However, the scenery made up for it! Lush mountains affixed behind the blue waters. BREATHTAKING! There is... More
