 Getting your bearings on Isla is easy. The village is on the northern tip of the island, just a short stroll from Playa Cocos, also known as Playa Norte, and right behind the harbour. Colorful wooden houses, shops, bars and restaurants line the bustling streets that lead on to the main square. Most island eateries specialize in seafood which is served in a variety of delicious ways.
To explore the island take a taxi or rent a moped, bike or golf cart from one of the rentals in the village. Visitors wishing to take their own car over to the island can do so from Punta Sam. Traveling south along the road from the village will take you to Hacienda Mundaca, several beaches and the dolphin enclosure. El Garrafón Park and the lighthouse on the southern tip of the island. The rocky east coast of the island is picturesque but not recommended for swimming.
