| About these ratings | ||
Widely considered a locals beach spot, travelers laud Playa Tortugas for its relaxed atmosphere and clean sands. The area also has several open-air restaurants that make for great evening dining.
Some travelers enjoy Tortugas so much that they choose the area over their own hotel's beach. One TripAdvisor reviewer says: "The beach at our hotel was way too rough to enjoy. The water at Playa Tortuga is so calm and relaxing. We took our rafts and just floated in the water for hours. There is no entrance fee and there are shops/restaurants all around if you get hungry."
Playa Tortugas is located at KM 6.5 along the Hotel Zone.
