Playa Salinas

Things to do in Playa Salinas

  1. La Paseadora

    With a blasting stereo and boisterous families, trips on the La Paseadora leave weekend mornings in good weather. They offer snorkeling tours and round-trips to a nearby island with a beach.

  2. Ladi’s Place

    Like its west-facing neighbors up and down the road, the sunset views are a nightly show from the breezy patio. Ladi’s claims to have created ‘Mojo Isleño, ’ a zesty garlicky sauce that dresses most local fish dishes. A crooner plays the keyboard in the corner and the song list calibrated to please gringo sailors, who sway along to ‘Margaritaville’ at least once an evening.

  3. La Playa Minimarket

    Run by brothers Evan and Irving, this little place is a well-situated (though not too well-stocked) bar and grill/minimarket, though the latter is only evident from a stock of dusty cans, mosquito repellent and dish soap. The food here is certainly a family affair: homemade sandwiches criolla and blood sausage come steaming from the tiny small kitchen, and the food is available to go. The beer is cheap and the locals feisty; they dance to a TV in the corner playing videos of old salsa bands. This is the ideal place to get away from the other tourists.
