Playa de Perú

About the best decent beach near La Ceiba [1], Playa de Perú is reached by a 1.5-kilometer dirt road turning off the Tocoa [2] highway between kilometer markers 205 and 206, about eight kilometers east of the Río Cangrejal bridge.

There’s nothing on the beach apart from a few champas built by fishermen and a couple of apparently abandoned restaurants. The beach itself is windswept and unkempt, and usually deserted.

Getting to Playa de Perú

To get to Playa de Perú by public transport, catch a bus headed for Sambo Creek [3], Tocoa [2], or Olanchito [4], get off at the turn, and walk down to the beach.
