Must see · Beach · Nature / Park
Partially located within a wildlife refuge, Punta Uva Beach offers great opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and wildlife viewing. Protected by a shallow reef and shaded by palm trees, this white-sand beach is a great destination for travelers seeking a laidback Caribbean vibe. A beach restaurant, which specializes in local cuisine, is a good place to grab a bite. Bring snorkeling or scuba diving gear with you, if you want to take advantage of the calm crystal-clear water.

    We went here on one of our excursions. We had a great long beach ride. The horses were pretty calm. Mine tried to run a little bit. Lol. The views were great along the way on the beach. There was also a dog that followed along with us for the duration of our ride. He just saw us and stayed with us until we got off the horses. He was not owned by the owner of the horses, we asked once we for back. We also had a little.extra bonus by getting off of the beach path and went into a almost farm like, county stroll. There were very few houses, massive trees, beautiful leaves and lush, beautiful green fields. Once we returned to the stable, we were able to wash our hands and what not. While we were waiting for our ride to come we were served a tray of fresh fruit and bottles of water. What a great way to end our day of fun.
