A good beach and point break, this charcoal-gray stretch north of Punta Islita is strewn with driftwood and sheltered by two headlands. This beach also happens to be a protected nesting site for leatherback, olive ridley, hawksbill and black turtles, hence its protected status. Tour operators in Sámara and Carrillo offer turtle-watching excursions to Camaronal.
