About Black Eagle Beach

Home to Rincón's small-boat marina and part of the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, Black Eagle Beach features a largely rocky shoreline with calm, protected waters ideal for water activities. The beach serves as a launch point for whale-watching tours during winter months, year-round snorkeling trips to explore elkhorn coral reefs, and paddleboard rentals. The rocky terrain creates natural tide pools teeming with marine life.

Local tips

January through March is prime humpback whale-watching season. Book boat tours early as they sell out.
Rent snorkel gear or paddleboards from the marina operators if you did not bring your own.
The rocky shoreline makes water entry tricky. Wear water shoes and enter carefully to avoid sea urchins.
Respect the marine reserve rules — no touching coral, no fishing within the reserve boundaries, no anchoring.
Sunset shots from the marina with fishing boats in the foreground are classic Rincón imagery.
