A chance to swim and take full advantage of the sun and sand attracts visitors to scenic Playa Hermosa. Situated between two mountains, this beach provides a long stretch of grey sand and bright blue sea. The surf is calm, making for ideal swimming and scuba diving conditions. Rarely crowded, this spot is a quieter alternative to its busy neighboring counterparts. Kayaks, windsurfing gear, and jet skis are all available for rent nearby. Pack a picnic, sunscreen, and a beach towel. Playa Hermosa is just one of the many highlights you can arrange to see using our world travel planner, Piriapolis Edition.

    Linda Beach, quiet, very crowded, full total, in the early morning and at dusk. Highly recommended to go with small children.
