    Directions to Playa Caracas / Bahia del Corcho

    On Route 997, enter through the Camp Garcia gate. Drive about 1.5 miles and you will see the sign below, make a right at the sign, keep driving and you will get to Playa Caracas (Red Beach) at the end of the road.

    The formal name for this beach is Playa Caracas and it was given it's name because it is right in front of Cerro Caracas (Caracas hill). Today some (mostly American residents) refer to the beach as Red Beach which is the name the Navy officers gave it.
