Located on the left side of Playa La Audiencia, it offers a tiny bit of sand under a shade tree, and excellent snorkeling and diving. This is a very popular place for night dives because of the giant sleeping parrot fish in the shallows on the left side of the bay. Playa Las Hadas Playa Las Hadas is a man-made beach on the south side of the Las Hadas marina, and officially starts Manzanillo Bay. It can only be accessed by Las Hadas guests, or guests of other hotels with Las Hadas privileges. It is normally a very calm beach, due to the construction of a jetty around the marina.
Sailboats often anchor in the protected harbor just off the beach.
The 18th hole of the Las Hadas golf course and a restaurant built on the small Peninsula de Salagua have changed the once pristine area. The little beach area in front of the Karmina is sandy on one side and rocky on the other. Perhaps in a few years, with proper ecology, the rocks will host coral colonies, and colorful fish. To the right of the Karmina is Playa Salagua, where the Salagua River meets the sea.
