Playa Esperanza is a public beach in Esperanza, running all the way from the sand bridge out to Cayo Tierra right into the Malecon in Esperanza.

It is a large bay with sailboats usually moored out in the deep water. There are two cayos which make for beautiful sights. There are also two piers that are used for fishing and for jumping into the water. On weekends, it is busy with locals, but that only increases the fun. There’s no better scene than children jumping in the water and screaming with joy. You can enjoy almost any beach activity on this protected beach, and surfers can even catch a nice wave out at the Cayo. Finally, Playa Esperanza has some of the most beautiful sunsets on the island.

There is some shade up off the sand, but nothing down near the water.
