Playa Hermosa is a cove with protected waters excellent for swimming, wading, snorkeling, and diving. The beach is tan colored and slopes gently into the Pacific ocean. The cove is about 2k wide and is quite flat making it easy to walk and explore. The cove is surrounded by forested hills dotted with budget to resort hotels and small restaurants.
