La Barqueta
The beach
A long black shore
Playa La Barqueta runs for miles along the Pacific south-west of David: dark volcanic sand, a wide surf line and hardly anyone on it. Part of it is a wildlife refuge where sea turtles come ashore to nest, and hatchlings head for the water from about September to December. The sea here has rip currents, so swim where it is calm and keep children close.
