Category:Mangel Halto Beach

Mangel Halto Beach is a sandy beach in Pos Chiquito surrounded by mangrove forests that frame turquoise shallow waters. The mangroves border the sand and create natural barriers between the beach and deeper waters offshore.

The reef barriers and mangrove forests shaped this beach over centuries, creating a natural protection against coastal erosion. This structure has remained largely unchanged since the island's early settlement.

Local families treat this spot as a weekend gathering place, where generations have shared meals and time together along the shore.

The beach has several entry points with a dock and ladder for those less experienced in water. Pathways wind through the mangroves and connect different sections of the shoreline.

The reef in front of this beach supports many fish and marine creatures at various depths, from shallow areas close to shore to deeper zones. Snorkelers can explore different sections with different levels of challenge without traveling far.
