This is the stretch of beach in front of the hotels located on a shell-shaped inflection on the coast. You will find palapas (beach umbrellas made of palm leaves, see picture), lounge chairs and volleyball nets in front of most of the hotels.

Please note since few years (especially after the Michelle hurricane in Nov. 2001) beaches at Cayo Largo are changing from day-to-day. The west beaches are the wider and the most stable (Paraiso, Punta mal Tiempo and Sirena). Usually the beach in front of the Sol Pelicano is large. The new tendency of getting strong winds (read *rough sea*) is spread all around the Caribbean.

To know more about the situation of the Cayo Largo beaches, please visit our bulletin board in the section: État des plages...à jour... These informations are from people returning from CL. You are all invited to share yours by registering to the forum which only requires an email address.

In front of the hotels the sea is generally not too rough (green or yellow flag most of the days). When it is very windy the sea gets a little rough, then you can go to the west beaches (Playa Paraiso, Punta mal Tiempo or Playa Sirena) if you prefer a sea which is always very calm. Do not venture into the sea during red flag day. Drowning to have been reported from Cayo Largo.
