We're all familiar with the idea of hard work paying off, and the beach Playa Bollullo is testament to this idea. Kyle has tired of frequenting La Playa Jardin; it is overcrowded, some parts have course rocky sand, and it's usually very cloudy... So he offered up the idea of a short 4km walk, mostly uphill to this secluded beach called Playa Bollullo! It took a few days of coaxing, but Megan finally agreed to make the trek, despite having a perfectly good beach a short walk from home.

We were glad to discover that the walk was both good exercise, and very enjoyable. Hugging the coast, weaving in and out of banana plantations, spiraling up and down sets of stairs to our own "private playa." Compared to Jardin the beach was empty, with only three of four groups of people covering 200 meters of coastline. We walked barefoot through the silky, warm sand while colossal waves crashed on rocky outcrops. There was even a cute cabana cafe that sold beverages and bocadillos. Of course, we were a short distance from Pto. Cruz so the ominous cloud coverage was still there, but that aside, this is our favorite beach thus far!
