We took a little coastal catamaran ferry from Puerto Mogan for the half hour ride along the coast. It gave us a nice view of the coast and some of the nearby beaches for an economical price. It was a little cloudy and cooler than it has been (about 21C at 11:00 am)
The first place we passed was Taurito with its steep cliffs lined with a few nice resorts.
Next up, a nudist beach, Playa Medio Almud. Only a few people there and not a long enough lens to tell if it truly was a nudist beach.
Next beach, Plays del Cura.
Following that, Playa de los Amadores. This is a totally man made beach and resort built by Scandinavian developers in the early 2000's. The sand was made from crushed coral.
We got off the ferry at Puerto Rico, another lovely beach and separate yacht harbour surrounded by condos and hotels.
We strolled the marina looking at the boats and then walked the beachside promenade.
I think we are starting to get into a quiet period for tourism as there are noticeably fewer people around this week. Lots of empty beach lounges and seats in the many restaurants.
We found an oceanside walkway that connects Puerto Rico to Playa se los Amadores and decided to hike there for lunch. Not a really long walk but very beautiful right along the sea.
There were numerous beachside restaurants to choose from, each with a barker coaxing you inside. We picked one with a nice beach view and had a pizza and a drink.
We had a chance to lay on the man made sand beach for a while. The sand was very coarse. We hustled back to Puerto Rico to catch the 3:30 pm ferry but had a chance to take a few photos along the way. We spotted some people living in a cave. No idea how they got there but I don't think they can afford clothes.
The wind had picked up a bit so the ferry ride was a little bit bumpier but nothing that would upset anyone. We arrived back in Puerto Mogan shortly after 4:00 pm and sat on the promenade until it got too cool.
