Playa del Viejo Swimming Forecast

Playa del Viejo scores 73/100 for swimming today at its best ability level (expert). The beach faces NE. A small, rustic black-volcanic-sand cove beside an old fishing village, prized for calm, clear, sheltered water over a volcanic-rock seafloor rather than for surfing or wind sports. An easy shore dive and snorkel site runs to roughly 8-14m depth. It lies within a protected marine conservation zone; feeding the resident sea turtles is strictly prohibited. No lifeguard service or public facilities are present, so visitors should be self-sufficient.
