Playa El Morro

+ Add a Photo

By Lorraine Caputo

The Isla Tumaco-Isla El Morro road ends in a loop at a glistening, black-sand beach and warm-watered sea. Just offshore is the haystack-shaped El Morro rock formation. At the far end of the road is the famed Arco del Morro; as the tide lowers, its tranquil pool drains in a rushing creek to the sea. Beyond the arch a several-kilometer-long beach is being exposed. The swimming here is not great, due to mangrove sediment, but the beachcombing and bird watching are rewarding. This is also the time you can visit the cuevas, where legend says pirate Henry Morgan hid his treasure (Entry: $1.10).
