Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a golden glow over the resorts and the beach.

Stay for the afterglow. The beach remains a lively spot with events and dance floors at some of the fronting resorts, making it a great place to linger as the night begins.
Local tip
Playa De Oro is near the convergence of many resorts. If you want a quieter spot, consider walking to Las Glorias Beach, but be aware it is a 29-minute walk from Playa De Oro.
