Los Frailes beach, near Peurto Lopez, was the first excursion of our 3 day 4 excursion adventure. Los Frailes translates to Monks Beach. I am not exactly sure why it is called that. Perhaps it’s meditative properties helped in giving it a name. Unlike other beaches we had been one this beach was totally free of washed up litter, pebbles or rocks or shells. The sand was an even beige and the surf was incredible. It is a horseshoe shaped bay and because of that the surf height and and breaks were strongest in the middle and as you ventured towards the edges they were less. Children and families tend to swim at the edges and only the foolish dared to challenge the center. When we arrived there were only a dozen or so people scattered along the beach which is almost 2 km long.
We strolled from one end to the other listening to the slapping of the water as the curls would break and the water would collapse.
