Playa Potrero is a wonderfully tranquil place to pass the day, lying on warm sand and bathing in the sun or reading in the shade of palm trees. On the beach's north end, the small fishing village of Potrero looks to Playa Potrero and its bay. Toward the southern end, sits the chic beach community of Playa Flamingo.
