Corinto's main attractions are its untouched beach strips. The beach area is called Costa Azul, which has beautiful views to the Corinto Bay and the numerous islands located in front of the bay. Beaches in Corinto are free from tourists, so you can have a relaxing day at the beach all by yourself. Some local kids might show you their soccer skills, but besides that you can enjoy the white sand and the turquoise ocean alone. Watch for the strong currents when you take a dip in the ocean.
Isla el Cardon is one of the islands you can admire from the shores of Corinto Bay. It is completely deserted and utterly beautiful. Some of the local fishermen can take you to Isla el Cardon in their small boats, and the rates are still reasonable. Isla el Cardon also is a perfect destination if you want to enjoy the ocean without having to worry about the currents or if you want to try snorkeling and enjoy the colorful marine life. In addition, adventurous souls can explore the rest of the island if a break from tanning is necessary. A magnificent sunset ends your day with a perfect note.
