Whether you’re looking for adventure or total relaxation, Selva Terra’s beach access makes it easy to immerse yourself in the region’s natural beauty.
Coco Bay
Coco Bay spans 800ft of coastline on the East side of the resort. This beach form crescent-shaped bay, the sand is soft, and the water is gentle. Our island hikes and mangrove tour start and end at Coco Bay. The Beach Club and our complementary SUP’s and kayaks are also located at Coco Bay. This is the perfect place to enjoy service at sea cocktails, a fresh coconut, or the start of your next adventure on the island.

Clay Sand Beach is a sandy beach located on the West side of the resort. The beach is more exposed to swell, making it the perfect spot to listen to the sound of the waves. You can also go shell-hunting or explore the tidal pools.
