Dry Season Beaches
The natural reserve has 2 amazing dry season beaches, with soft golden sand. On occasion swimmers will luck out and meet passing pink dolphins. The river is refreshing and the water is clean, as there are no upstream communities. Various environmental organizations, including La Pedregoza, have worked together for the successful declaration of the Río Bita as a protected river.
