Olón is a quiet fishing village surrounded by a lengthy beautiful beach. A superb Sanctuary built on top of a cliff overlooks the sea and surrounding areas. It has a wooden boat hanging on it and outstanding views.
An interesting place to visit is El Cangrejal de Olón, which is a mangrove nearby where you'll find some threatened species such as the blue crab.
Some 12 km north from Olón the beach continues to La Entrada, on the Cordillera Chongón-Colonche; Where you can have a pleasant stroll around the area.
