Is Playa Diego Hernández safe for swimming, and what are the water conditions like?
Playa Diego Hernández is a hidden bay with generally calm, turquoise waters, making it appealing for swimming. However, as a wild cove, it lacks lifeguard supervision. Swimmers should exercise caution, especially regarding currents or waves that might arise. The seabed can be rocky in places, so water shoes are advisable for comfort and safety when entering and exiting the water. Always assess the conditions before swimming.

To enjoy Playa Diego Hernández with fewer crowds and in optimal weather, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons or earlier in the morning.
