playa los muertosGreat one day or 1/2 trip to another beach town that reminds many of what PV many many moons ago.
Great day trip, or spend the night. You can take the bus to where it stops, then a water taxi to the town. There are guides that will offer to take you to the waterfall, careful during the dry season, not much of a waterfall!
Instead look for the small town, shop, have lunch, and sit on the beach
