What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Buena Vista is praised as a beautiful, lost beach with warm waters and stunning sunsets, offering a peaceful escape from crowds. Visitors appreciate the local fishing scene and the serene atmosphere. However, the bumpy road access and potential difficulty crossing the river at high tide are noted drawbacks.
"Nice, lost beach. We only met one other tourist and 2 fishermen.
The road to the beach is bumpy in the beginning, past the last houses of Samara (~400m before the beach) the road gets fine again. But we didn't know that and parked at the last houses and walked down the forest to the beach.
Edit: there is a small river you have to cross to get to the full length of the beach. Locals told us, during high tide it could get difficult to cross, so just check that in advance to be sure you're safe ;)"
