What's the beach like?

The beach in the Mirador is more rocky than farther down in the Las Conchas area, but it's a great place to go snorkeling. If you own a small fishing boat, you can launch it from Playa del Oro.

What makes this beach popular despite the rockiness is its proximity to downtown! It's very walkable so it makes for a very convenient place to stay in.
