About
Quick facts: Dona Ana Beach has golden cliffs rising up to 20 meters above the crystal-clear water. The beach is surrounded by rock formations that create small natural pools at low tide.
Highlights: The rock formations on the beach form arches and caves where the sun creates spectacular light effects in the morning. During low tide, it is possible to explore natural pools that shelter small fish and marine life.
Insider tips
- Wear non-slip shoes to safely explore the rock formations.
- Photograph at dawn to capture the sun illuminating the golden cliffs.
- Avoid summer weekends to escape the crowds.
- Bring water and a snack because infrastructure at the beach is limited.
