Five beaches within minutes of the studios, and each one is good for something different. You can walk to the nearest, and the others are minutes away.
Calm · Quiet
A small, beautiful beach a short walk from the studios, with a gazebo. Cozy, peaceful and rarely crowded.
The access gate for La Pocita and Kikita closes at 6:00 PM, under a 2018 municipal ordinance.
On foot: a short walk north of the studios, so the car can stay parked.

Very close to the studios. Great for surfing, and just as good for a quiet, relaxing afternoon.
East of the studios on the coast, through the same access gate as La Pocita, which closes at 6:00 PM.

The "ox's eye", named for the famous rock formation where the river meets the sea. Spectacular views, trails along the riverbank and a small hidden natural pool. Better for photos and walks than for swimming in the open sea.
The directions lead to the park on Calle 13, where the trails start.

Dorado's public beach, and the easy choice with children. A roped-off swimming area, lifeguards, showers, bathrooms and gated parking, with water quality monitored. Juan's favorite stretch is by the fishermen's villas, with plenty of restaurants nearby.
The directions lead to the balneario's parking lot, which is gated.

The open stretch beside the balneario. No facilities and a stronger tide, which is exactly why the surfers and windsurfers go there instead.
Four studio apartments on Calle Kennedy, across from the Dorado del Mar golf course. Book them on Airbnb.
