It is not allowed to stay overnight anywhere in the park anymore. Two rangers came around 7pm and send us away.

Pasamos dos noches frente a playa El raspón. Maravillosa vista, hermosa playa.

Stayed at playa Raspon. Was easy to get there in our 2wd (Volkswagen kombi). Paid the park entrance and 2 soles to use the toilets at playa La Mina. Whenever we tried to walk or drive away from the main road, park rangers in a pick up would immediately come to correct us.

Stayed nearby at Playa Raspon. Wind calmed down a couple hours after sunset. Bathroom at Mina wasn't open when we checked at 8am. From here we left the "marked" road and did a loop around the peninsula. Had to backtrack a few times to get around larger hills/dunes but almost all of the land was sand over hard packed dirt. Careful approaching dune hilltops as some of the dropoffs are very steep.

We also went a few hundred meters down to Playa Raspon. Slept in a ground tent. Very very windy in the evening (sand got over everything) but so worth it to wake up to that ocean view in the morning with pretty much no wind and a beautiful sky. Guy w key to bathroom was nowhere to be found.

Stayed at La Mina Playa, the wind was okay, behind the toilet house (If you enter the site, in front, and depends the wind direction) was nearly no wind, but you need to level a bit! The guy from the bathroom told us to knock on his door if we need it...we will see! Sun disappeared early around 04:30pm, behind the hills! Quite and Peaceful...

All construction was finished! A great place to visit, and only 10/s PP. We stayed the next beach over at Playa Raspón. Mina beach site has toilets for 1.5/s but these seemed closed at night. Playa Raspon had a bit more protection from the wind, but it wasn't that windy. We felt safe, there was no one around, and amazing views. The sea was beautiful and clear too. Beautiful spot to spend a night.

construction works are finished; no problem to drive to the beaches; La Mina Beach was crowded - the next beach 700m along the road was nearly empty, but it has many stairs from the parkinglot down to the beach.

Signs indicate access to La Mina beach is closed due to development, however workmen said it was okay for us to proceed anyway. Paid 10s per person for park entrance.

Beautiful place at the sea. Very windy. We arrived at sunday evening and it was rather crowded. But at night we were alone.

We stayed three nights. It is windy at nighttime. We saw Dolphins from our spot on two days. Plenty of people camping directly on the beach. Perfect for swimming. There are toilets but nothing else. Seemed like a safe place and the people who look after the toilets also have a caravan and sleep at the site. It was free of charge.

Paid 20 soles for two people. Setup near the parking lot near Playa Minas. Bit windy but the 4wheel poptop seemed OK. The outhouse seems permenantly closed so there is dirty TP etc. everywhere. Heard later this is not the safest spot but we had no issues.

nice spot to stay during the day, but overnight we stayed for security reasons on the rangers parking areal, at the laguna.

Wanted to stay here but too windy so just visited for lunch and to see the beach. Spectacular views and good swimming. Also good clear water for snorkeling. No amentities but bathrooms. Enjoy !
