North of the harbor and around a series of beaches nestled between the various coastal mountains that form the coastline, Playa Algodones provides a playful beach area and serves as a base for the area's Club Med.

Scuba divers find the caves along the coast and coral formations on nearby sunken ships interesting. Fishermen catch dorado, barracuda, and all the bill-fish including marlin, sailfish and swordfish in nearby waters. Hotels range from inexpensive efficient posadas to deluxe properties offering all amenities.
