If you are visiting Guatemala and would like to visit one of the beaches the country has, Monterrico Beach is the geat place for it. Located 2 hours away from Antigua and 3 hours from the City. You can easily get there by booking an special bus or just a Chicken bus. The beach is located in a really good place, there are plenty of hotels and restaurants for your budget. Enjoy your stay!

We always go to Monterrico, an excellent beach to visit, cross your vehicle by ferry

Well, it is unfortunate to see that it is becoming more and more Dirty (January 2024), and there is no rescue plan and EVEN WORSE, WE continue to be Dirty, filling with garbage (aside from the fact that there is not even where to throw garbage) it does not justify but in my personal opinion the only beach of the south that is becoming decent and is already being destroyed.

Monterrico is considered a black sand beach, it’s actually milk chocolate with golden glitter. The water is very warm and the sand is soft. Not much going on on the beach but the town is very lively with shops and restaurants lining the center of town leading up to the beach. Worth a day trip from Antigua.

It’s so hot. The water was warm and the black sand just looked so beautiful. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because you can’t really get in. The tide and waves were really strong so It’s dangerous. I would love to come back during a season where it’s safe to get in. Still felt nice to sit at the shore and enjoy the view.

Nice but little trashy beach, black sand. When the waves are high there is a strong current.

Nice place lots of shops... you can get good rum cheaply here

Nice beach if there wasn't so much rubbish lying around or if there were quads driving along the beach from morning to evening. Tourists and children destroy the beach so much that you no longer wonder why there is rubbish lying around everywhere. The place could be a paradise if people treated it like that.

Excellent place... one of the best beaches in Guatemala that I have visited, Monterrico.

Very safe and cozy place

Beautiful beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

No place to stay at the beach is overcrowded and allowed of bandits

A very nice beach with smooth black sand. Unfortunately it's not safe to swim becoz of the strong sea current. A nice spot to enjoy the Pacific Ocean sunset here. Hope the local would continue to keep the area clean.

AMAZING beach with AWESOME resorts and amenities nearby! You can rent dirtbikes and run around the sand too! It is hot as hell always and the weather is beautiful! Not for swimming as the tides are huge and can shuck someone away but other than that its great for sunbathing or relaxing!

Black sand was very rough and the place is good but not the best

I love Monterico specially hotel El Baule

really nice, spacious beach. Palm trees in the background, not overbuilt with big hotels. That doesn't happen that often in this world anymore.

A beautiful black sandy beach and plenty of rubbish on it.

I loved releasing the baby Turtles on the beach! But the waves were very strong and I'm not a fan of black sand. Also ate some ceviche from Johnny's place that made me sick

ONE OF MOST BEAUTIFUL BLACK SAND BEACHES IN THE PACIFIC COAST OF GUATEMALA
