PUNTA MOLAS
This is for the true adventures and is a “do it yourself tour” for those who like to take their own adventures. Head northeast, fellow adventurer, and you'll find yourself at the deserted lighthouse of Punta Molas with magnificent views and gorgeous deserted beaches on the way. Make sure to take a 4WD vehicle, as this point isn't the easiest to reach and sand roads, huge rocks, and dirt will greet you during your off-road journey. You'll want to fill up on gas as it is a far journey. Once in the vicinity, you'll find some fairly spectacular secluded beaches and some ruins. The best camping spot along the road is at the lovely Playa Bonita.
