Cueva de las Golondrinas

A wonderful rock formation in the coast of Manatí, in the central north coast of the island. This natural treasure has a little beach that you can enjoy while you can take a splash inside the cave. Be sure to use water shoes due to the rocks and limestone that is on the beach floor. Sometimes waves are rough and tide is too high and is not safe to enter to the cave. Be sure that is a day with good weather and low tide to enjoy it. No parking space at the site. You must leave your car on a nearby road and walk like 10-15 minutes to the cave. Part of the trail was broken since Hurricane Maria in 2017, so you have to climb rocks of limestone on a short segment of the trail. The rest of the trail is safe to walk.

Absolutely gorgeous. Private and secluded but wild! The waves are no joke and there are lots of rocky slabs along the beach. Very cool place to walk and explore with kids along the surf, but you should wear water shoes. And I wouldn’t recommend swimming with kids or if you are not a VERY skilled swimmer.

This was the most exclusive beach I’ve been to. Saw several people but not a lot! A little hiking & walking through the forest was great! But the nothing prepared me for such a breathtaking view! This beach had a forest & caves! Posted a video of the cave. Check it out, u won’t be disappointed! **Advisory: Please help us maintain our beautiful island & take your trash with you if there are no garbage cans. We thank you in advance.**

Amazing & beautiful place. Beach is clean, secluded and private. Water is clean and clear, but a little on the rough side. You have to be careful with the rocks but wonderful place. We enjoyed it.

Great spot to visit if you’re in the are. Sparrows fly in and out of the cave which is pretty shallow. The waves can be large and break hard into the shore so be careful. Also, if the tide is coming in keep an eye on your stuff or it’ll get swept away! It’s about a 10 min moderate hike from royal isabela if your staying there.

the beach was beautiful in general, but there were many thieves in the area when i was there, there was at least three cars driving around ever since i got their till when i left. Best to leave values and documents at home. And remember to bring sneakers or water shoes there are many urchins and sharp rocks. Its an amazing place to go in general though.

Very nice place to go. Short walk from La Posa de las Mujeres. Make sure you have water shoes or sandals prior to walking into the cave portion. Lots of small sea orchids that you may not see. Once inside it's actually relaxing and a good spot to take pictures. Once at Posa de las Mujeres wall up the rocks that lead to the stairs and follow the path to the right until making it there.
