Note: Before July ’19, these entrances were labeled #4-#8.
La Chiva #’s 2-6 are a long white strand with different places to park.
As you drive in, the early numbers like #2 & #3 will sometimes have bigger waves and more seaweed. As you continue toward #6, you approach the point across from the Cayo which tends to be a bit calmer. Everything in between is a beautiful Caribbean blend of these two. All of La Chiva is in a very natural state with some fan coral washed up on shore, and vines growing up on the sand. It’s a great beach for a long walk and a variety of activities.
Entrances #2 & #3 have covered pavilions which offer shade, but the others don’t have any, so plan accordingly.
