Use Caution at Playa Quemaito
Playa Quemaito is as everyone describes but there is a need for caution.
If you go for a walk down the beach to the South and get as far as where the beach curves back out to the sea you will find a STRONG RIP TIDE along this beach area. It is how the local fishermen " shoot out the gap in the old coral reef. It is best that CHILDREN not enter the water this far down the beach.
All other parts of Quemaito are protected by the reef and even though dead from the fresh water insource it is a fantasic snorkeling site. I have seen a Brain Coral right off the beach that is at least 7 ft tall.
Enjoy your visit to the Larimar Coast.
