Its beach is undoubtedly one of the main reasons to visit this wonderful key. It is a heavenly beach of turquoise waters known by the locals as the Playa de las Estrellas (Star Beach), precisely because of the abundant presence of starfish in its waters, which makes it an ideal place for snorkeling to admire them in their natural environment.

This incredible place has something very special that few lucky people know about. When the sun goes down, the turquoise waters of these beaches gradually turn pink, generating a palette of pastel shades in which the shadows and reflections are cut out to create delicate and ephemeral prints, offering an experience that you will want to take away with you forever.

On the other hand, if you are looking to relax by the sea, the beach on the north coast has an extensive and very white sand 3 km long, almost deserted. There you can settle down with the whole family, since as they are shallow beaches they are ideal to go with children, and enjoy a comforting day.

The island has a restaurant where you can taste delicious local dishes while enjoying a nice day at the beach.

Although what you like most is water sports, in Cayo Jutías you can practice kayaking or if you prefer to explore the ocean floor and do not have diving equipment don't worry because in the small diving center you can reserve dives and the necessary equipment.
