2 reviews for La Selva Beach
I may be biased here. La Selva is the one beach my parents would take the family to every summer. My three sisters and I were able to trot on down from the beach houses you can rent and set up towels anywhere we liked. The beach itself seems private, but its not. It is clean, patrolled by lifeguards and enjoyed by surfers.
This year my mom decided was "year of the dolphins" cause we saw them everyday that we were out there. It tends to be a sunny beach, and usually clears up around lunch time.
The only drawback is no alcohol on the beach. The lifeguards always warn us, but no tickets yet! Just make sure to pour it in a cup or shield it behind the ice chest when you hear a truck coming.
Ah, La Selva beach, my summer getaway. My parents started renting a beach house there every year once I hit puberty, so my early memories have to do with sneaking off to meet boys or smoke a doobie. These days, my three sisters keep me entertained enough to believe I'm on one continuous acid trip.
You may think that La Selva is unworthy of my fondness -- it's situated in a Bay so every day sunny skies are a crap shoot. Still, it's a gorgeous beach, with sand that's not too dirty with seaweed and all of that other stuff that tends to wash up and blemish the shoreline. Also, it's a very long beach, so you can opt for eye candy or alone time, depending on your mood.
This year was particularly nice. Every day was sunny, and even though I was only there four days, I spotted dolphins and otters just off shore and a whale way off in the distance. Also, the sunsets were particularly beautiful, streaking the whole sky with a warm pinky haze.
I left tanned (well, that's a stretch), happy and more at peace than I've been in months. And no, it wasn't the xanax.
