Messy Suitcase Mini-Tour: Playa Ostiones
Playa Ostiones is the very definition of off-the-beaten
path. It’s a little neighborhood beach, not mentioned in any tourism brochures.
It has a small, deeply-potholed dirt parking lot among the palm trees, a put-in
for small boats and jet skis, a small beach and swimming area for families, and
a few wooden benches. No bathrooms. No restaurants. No facilities. There are a couple
of small condo complexes behind it. But if you have simple tastes and a deep
appreciation of nature’s beauty, it has everything you need.
You can walk through a nature reserve down a path
beautifully maintained by a dedicated local man by the name of Harvey John
Ducot, and take your choice of countless small beach areas tucked within the
mangroves. You can sit under a low shady tree and watch the placid water. You
can snorkel from a beach, or kayak out, and see countless reefs and plants and
fish. You can do yoga in the sand, fish off the jetty, or just laze the day
away.
(Shh, don’t tell anyone!) Playa de Ostiones is our
definition of Paradise.
Note: In the summer, the crowds on weekends can be loud and
raucous, with lots of jet skis and speakers blaring Daddy Yankee.
