The beach is located 10 or 15 minutes (walking distance) from the pier of The Bluff. Theres no ground transportation in the area, so if you want to reach the coast you must do your travel by foot. Also, there is no signs to indicate the paths to be taken, therefore we recommend you to ask the locals for directions or key information.

This summer place is known for its mounds of stone that were used to build a bridge that would unify the community of El Bluff Beach. The leftover mounds are scattered on a small hill overlooking the sea, which give the impression of being part of an archaeological site.
