Papagayo Beaches
Los Ajaches, near Playa Blanca, Spain
The pale coves of Papagayo sit beneath the dry hills of Los Ajaches near Playa Blanca. Their contrast of sand, rock and clear water makes this one of the island’s most appealing stretches of coast for a beach day. Papagayo itself is a sheltered cove where conditions often suit swimming and snorkelling. Bring water and sun protection, check the sea before entering and arrange your own transport; the tourism board lists no public transport to the beach.
