Punta Oriente
Punta Oriente Review
Punta Oriente is a typical windward beach—great for beachcombing but unsuitable for swimming. The beach has been nicknamed Playa Mezcalitos after the much-loved Mezcalito Café, which serves seafood and beer and can get pretty rowdy. Iguana's is the other restaurant option on this stretch of sand. Amenities: food and drink; parking (free). Best For: partiers; nudists; walking.
