Punta Carnero is a large isolated beach with some 15 kilometers in length. Right here lies Hotel Punta Carnero overlooking the ocean from a cliff top.
The ocean in Punta Carnero is not recommended for swimming due to its strong undertow, but the beach is excellent for strolls and tanning. Many tourists go there when Salinas is crowded. Whale watching (During July August and September) tours and birdwatching have been recommended in this area.
