Engabao Beach

Depending on the day of the week and season, there are sometimes life guards, and three cafes open by the lighthouse. Also next to the lighthouse are two other small beaches which are good for sunbathing and sometimes have umbrellas at weekends.

Engabao is really split into two distinct locations: The village Engabao and the fishing port Puerto Engabao and they are about 3 km apart. At Puerto Engabao, near the surf break, the main beach is covered in fishing boats. And behind the beach there are several buildings and warehouses.

Stretching south from the point, is 2.5 km of white sand beach connecting the port and the main village of Engabao where most of the local residents have their homes. You can sunbathe and swim on this beach on calm days.

Surfers can find cheap accommodation for their weekend surf trips. Fifteen to twenty families provide room and board in a community hospice style. Groups of up to 5 surfers can share a room at a price of only $5 per head, and pay about $3 for a meal of seafood and rice (ceviche, sea bass, camarones).
