Playa Charquitos

Playa Charquitos – The Perfect Shallow Beach for Toddlers & Families! 🏖️ 👶 🐠 Traveling the island with children and looking for the safest, calmest spot for them to swim? Welcome to paradise! Playa Charquitos (which translates to "The Little Pools Beach") is a uniquely peaceful and picturesque stretch of coastline that provides the ultimate environment for families.

What makes this beach so unique:

• The Natural Reef Barrier: A beautiful coral reef runs parallel to the shore, acting as a natural breakwater that completely stops the rough ocean waves and heavy currents.

• Shallow & Calm Waters: The reef creates a long, natural pool along the coastline with water that is incredibly shallow, completely flat, and crystal clear. It is a gentle, wave-free playground where toddlers and young kids can splash around safely while parents relax.

• Spotting Baby Fish: Thanks to the calm and shallow environment, you can often see small, friendly fish swimming right by your feet—a magical experience for the little ones!

• Stunning & Relaxing Views: This beach offers gorgeous tropical scenery and a much more relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere compared to the crowded main beaches uptown.

📞 Contact Details & Useful Information:

• Entrance Fee: 100% Free! (This is an open public beach, so there are no entry costs or fees).

💡 Chabad Insider Tip: Playa Charquitos is located on the southern side of the island (on the way to Palm Road). It is the ultimate stop to break up your island road trip, let the kids burn some energy in safe waters, and enjoy a family picnic while cruising in your rented golf cart or buggy!
