You can order scallops (callo de hacha), typically prepared fresh on the spot with cucumber, dark sauces, and seasonings, served with a small plate and spoon. The atmosphere among the anchored rental boats is lively and enjoyable. During the summer, it’s common for guests to swim and snorkel in the area, just being mindful of nearby boat traffic.
