      Wayaká II

      the three beaches, Wayaká I, II and III. Wayaká I is closed, and Wayaká II is located just a little farther down – it is the most visited beach of the three. There is plenty of room for parking on the right-hand side of the road.

      Access

      From the parking lot follow the short, winding path that leads to the cliff edge. A set of uneven stairs leads down to a small, sheltered beach, which is protected by several reef areas that are exposed at low tide. The bay has virtually no breaking waves and offers incredible visibility, which makes this an excellent place to snorkel and dive. In fact, the Wayaká sites are widely regarded as the best places to snorkel in the National Park.
