Many days/weeks I seems I don't leave our little corner paradise except to go up the mountain for bar supplies and food. I mean, why leave? We have beach, great snorkeling, sufers and kite sufers to take pictures of, people to hang on the beach with... But there are five or six MORE really cool beaches within a 10 or 15 minute drive. Today I ventured out of Playas Shacks and Bajuras and took my KAP rig to the next beach to the east, Playa Jobos.
Jobos is popular for a bunch of reasons. Surfers - especially beginners - really like it because there is steady small but rideable surf all year round. Swimmers like it because there is a cove behind a huge karst formation that is fairly shallow and protected from the waves. Sun bathers like it because it has a nice wide beach. Eaters and drinkers like it because there are no less than six beach-front bars along the beach. Then there is the karst formation to climb around on. (I'll write more about karst later.) Beyond the karst, to the east is another stretch of beach that ends in another protected cove at Montones. Until you get to the cove at Montones, this part of the beach isn't good for much except walking and collecting see shells. This stretch has a steep shelf, a pretty nasty reef and pounding waves. No swimming or surfing here.
Todays picture was taken on top of the karst looking east toward Montones. There are more pics in the flickr site, www.flickr.com/photos/ola-lolas.
Enjoy!
