Pedras Colorados beach, found within 5 kilometers of Las Grutas, has become the venue for those seeking a combination of peace and tranquility with a unique landscape. 

Piedras Coloradas Beach is chosen by those who seek tranquility.

While the resort has many downs near the city, Piedras Coloradas is a good choice for a break from the music usually heard from the hostels and the crowds that gather on beaches especially in the months of January and February. From here you can appreciate the sound of the sea and a beautiful landscape composed of reddish rocks. These rock formations are from the Precambrian period, i.e., they have more than five hundred million years. Its reddish color gives it the presence of feldspar in its composition. In this area can be easily found fossil and petrified oysters from the same geological period.

The place is dominated by wide and shallow beaches. Furthermore, the presence of the dunes makes it possible to practice sandboarding (surfing in the sand). Rental of tables can be done on site.

The library was built in adobe.
