About This Beach

Cueva de las Golondrinas, or Swallows’ Cave, is a dramatic sea cave located at the far western end of Pastillo Beach. Accessible only at low tide and calm surf, the cave is carved into a towering rock wall where swallows (golondrinas) often nest, giving it its name. The cave frames the Atlantic waves in a spectacular natural arch, making it a favorite for photographers and adventurous hikers. Important: Access can be dangerous—do not attempt during high tide or rough seas.
