Watch for strong currents near the beach's southern end (marked by red flags). Jet ski traffic can be heavy - always swim in designated areas. Police patrols ensure low petty crime rates during daytime.
A scenic 30-minute coastal walk connects them via the Puerto Paraíso Mall. For quicker access, take a $5 water taxi that departs every 15 minutes from the beach's main pier.
