If you’re in the mood for a lively beach scene, Playa Los Muertos is your go-to. Located right next to Zona Romantica, this beach is a hub of activity, from renowned beach clubs like Mantamar to an array of water sports like banana boat rides. The beach is super accessible, just a short walk from the Malecon, and if you’re looking to escape the crowds, the Los Muertos Pier is your gateway to more secluded beaches via water taxi.

Be prepared for a bustling atmosphere with vendors frequently approaching you with various goods for sale. The beach has a mix of dining options—some hit-or-miss spots and some fantastic restaurants that I’ve highlighted in this map. While it may not be the most picturesque beach for a swim, it’s certainly possible.

Given its location in the LGBTQ+-friendly Romantic Zone, you’re guaranteed to meet amazing people from around the globe, all while sipping a fabulous cocktail against the backdrop of the city.
