Playa San Lorenzo

Reviewed By Steve_lofty - London, United Kingdom

Nice little beach with a few passable bars and restaurants. The waves look really strong when we were there. I wouldn't risk a swim. The climb to the cliff top on the rustic stairs was a real challenge for me but we made it. The views on top were spectacular
