With clear waters, soft sands and palm trees, it’s no surprise that Teresitas Beach is often compared to the stunning beaches of the Caribbean. Note that although the island is covered with mostly rough, black-sand beaches, Teresitas has imported yellow sands, making it a popular choice for locals and tourists alike. Although the beach can get a little crowded on weekends, the atmosphere remains remarkably laid-back.
