Note: Before July ’19, these entrances were labeled #20-#22.
La Chiva #’s 18 thru 20 are at the farthest part of La Chiva on the other side of the point (Punta Conejo).
There is a sandy beach which faces east toward the trade winds, which sometimes causes large amounts of sargassum seaweed to wash ashore, making this beach pretty unpleasant. But on the clear days, it’s a great place to spend a day. Because it’s at the far end, there are fewer people here. This beach is a good place to explore the point, snorkel, paddleboard, or maybe fish from the shore.
There is some shade up away from the water near the parking area.
