Iguana Beach, tucked away in a secluded cove, is a modest stretch of sand lacking notable features. While its size and simplicity might not appeal to those seeking a picturesque beach experience, it offers a unique charm during sunset. This is especially true when the sun resides in the southern hemisphere, casting a serene glow over the area. The period from October to April is particularly recommended for those who wish to witness this tranquil sunset display.
Not wide enough, not long enough, and only a small space to walk around.
Man-made sand area for tanning or relaxing under an umbrella. Restaurant. Very rocky beach, not good for swimming.
None
Eating and drinking; tanning; dancing when the DJ is here.
No, too rocky for surfing.
High fines possible.

At present, we don't have any information on the existence of a beach club here. If you possess more recent information, we would appreciate an update from you. Please do so by completing the 'Suggest an Update' form.
