On the left side of the beach is a small coastal lagoon with a large and varied bird population. White tail deer also visit the lagoon.
The island in front of the beach, Isla Cacaluta, has a very nice and shallow coral reef on the side that faces the beach. On the other side of the island, water reaches a depth up to 120 ft, and is one of the more beautiful scuba diving sites. There is a canyon that begins at a depth of 60 ft and is 60 ft long. When you get out of the canyon, following the bottom, you're at only 30 ft. The walls are incrusted with sea fans, sponges and yellow tube corals.
