About the best decent beach near La Ceiba, Playa de Perú is reached by a 1.5-kilometer dirt road turning off the Tocoa highway between kilometer markers 205 and 206, about eight kilometers east of the Río Cangrejal bridge.
There’s nothing on the beach apart from a few champas built by fishermen and a couple of apparently abandoned restaurants. The beach itself is windswept and unkempt, and usually deserted.
Getting to Playa de Perú
To get to Playa de Perú by public transport, catch a bus headed for Sambo Creek, Tocoa, or Olanchito, get off at the turn, and walk down to the beach.
