Gemelas Beach

Another great beach that I have been to many times is called Playa Gemelas (The Twins), located just past Punta Negra Beach on Carr Barre de Navidad 200 between 2 condo complexes, the Playa Gemelas Condominios and the Intercontinental Hotel complex.  It is a little tricky to find as there is minimal signage with a gate and a staircase it is the only public access.  The beach is on a time schedule opening around 9am and closing at 8pm, so do not get caught down below as I once did and had to climb over a condo complex wall to get back up the main highway!
Parking is just along the main highway wherever you can find a space and not get towed away.  The walk down to the beach is about 100 steps in a zigzag pattern in fairly good shape, but due to storms and heavy rains there are sections that require a bigger jump to continue on the path, especially at the bottom to the beach there is a 2-3 foot drop.   There are no services here, so have to bring your own food and beverages, however, I often see food vendors on this beach.  The beach is lifeguard patroled as well.
What makes this beach so special and worth the walk down? It  must be the small size, the great soft yellowish sand, and of course the beautiful crystal clear waters!  There are some large shade trees against the wall to the condo complex, so there is shade all throughout the day if you do not have an umbrella.  On Sundays it is quite busy as it is a favorite beach for the Mexican locals as well.  Just enjoy it and I have been there through a fantastic sunset as well!
