PLAYA DE TARQUI

Sheltered from the wind, it makes for a picturesque stroll. A small craft market is held daily on the beach, which also boasts a boatyard. Fishermen sell their fish as soon as they return from fishing. The beach is quite dirty, invaded by colonies of frigate birds, seagulls and other birds feeding on leftover fish. Along the beach, wooden kiosks, bars and restaurants, from which tropical music blares, offer a pleasant stopover. The beach is the scene of assaults, so don't go there at night.
