Whale's Tail

Whale's Tail
You must visit the beach that forms on the Whales Tail ("Bellena") at low tide. Driving south, it's just after Uvita on the right. You can see this amazing geological formation from our Villa Chill and throughout Selva Escondida. During low tide, a sand bar appears for 3 hours connecting to a rocky island. Wonderful for kids & parents. Ballena has the most gentle waves suitable for relaxing in the water or beginning body surfing. The beach also usually has sand dollars. This is a 25 minutes drive and I highly recommend it! Try to avoid the weekends as it get crowded. Remember to go during low tide and pack water & snacks. Here is the link for tide chart.
