Cañaveral is as far as you can go in the park by road. From the car park a trail leads west to Arrecifes and Cabo San Juan del Guía. The beaches in Cañaveral are very beautiful – golden sand and blue water – but there's no shade, and swimming can be dangerous because of treacherous offshore currents. There are several places to stay here.
