Nos quedamos 6 noches acá, es un lugar tranquilo y seguro, sin música y apto para todo tipo de vehículos. Viven personas acá en los restaurantes muy amables y nos facilitaron el baño gratis. Hay señal Claro.

We spent two nights at this beautiful, quiet bay (during weekdays). If you enter to the beach, Anita and her brother Wilson (Restaurant in the white building on the left hand side - coming from the street) will welcome you hearty.

You can stay there for free, without any costs and use the shaded places as well as the wooden tables there.

But as we wanted to thank them we ate freshly fish from the caught of the day. The plate for two is not that cheap (80k COP) but it was more than enough. We took half of the fish and also some rice with us for the next day. 😋 —> see pictures

We stayed for 2 nights at the first place to the left (RESTAURANTE MIRADOR DE VELERO on google maps). The owner, Brian told us we can stay for free if we eat dinner in the restaurant. We ate once, was very good and stayed for 2 nights.

Excellent place to stay on weekdays. Totally silent and peaceful. The guy at the restaurant said we could stay calm and they just asked us to eat something at the restaurant. (Very good food, Mojarra Frita). We stayed from Monday to Friday at that point. Weekends are very busy and with lots of music.

Great place to hang out during the day, super friendly locals. One of the (already closed) restaurants was even kind enough to make us some dinner. To spend the night, they warned us against the mosquitoes though, and rightfully so. At nightfall, you have to wipe them off your legs by the dozen. We were quasi alone when we arrived (Friday night), but we’re woken up twice during the night: first by 30+ (friendly) motorcyclists having some fun on the beach / around our van, second at 2 am by - what turned out to be - the police who started shining a light in our van, only identifying themselves as the police a minute into the conversation (a conversation which consisted of us asking what they were doing). They left shortly after.

we spent 2 nights there with a 24 feet. deserted beach with palapas and hammocks. at night we parked near the restaurant (the first on the left when entering) and were able to plug in and take advantage of the toilets and water. very nice place and people. we gave them 20000 Cop / night. here the ocean is very calm, ideal for young children. I think weekends are best avoided. Access from the national is good.

We stayed one night (on a tuesday) and it was only us staying, the rest of the beach was empty. Some locals live in the restaurant houses. They could supply you with drinks and food. They charged us 20.000 Pesos for the night, so it wasn't free, even though we bought some beer and fish for dinner. During the night, some dogs were barking and the sandflies are annoying. Other than that, it is a lovely place.

Great free spot as described. Got here around 8 PM. A couple of people who lives here cane out with their lanterns to check why the dogs were barking. Once they spotted me at a distance, they went back home. Seems like we are welcome...

FREE. A lovely and quiet spot to camp. We stayed 1 night. Had it all to ourselves. It was very windy (made cooking outside harder) and mosquitos came out as it got dark. There was an unlocked portapotty available. Recommended!

We stayed here 2 nights without any problems. Very quiet spot, even in the weekend. We took a shower with the bucket, 2000 cop per person.

nous avons passé 3 nuits ici gratuitement.
il y a de l'ombre grâce aux quinchos.
et on y dort bien car la température baisse le soir et il y a de l'air et du vent.
très très tranquille y compris le samedi.
le dimanche pas mal de monde mais quiet.
nous ne nous sommes pas baignés car il y avait des méduses sur le bord, mais les locaux se baignent.
l'eau est très calme.

we stayed 10 days a bit more south than the gps after talking to the guards of the beach for free. we left for the weekend. water temperature 27 degrees celsius, very nice to swim. you can order meals at the first restaurant (not cheap, but very good). 3g claro reception.

Très bon spot GRATUIT pour une ou plusieurs nuits. A l’ombre sous les palapas à 5 mètres de la plage. Pas de services, à part un peu de wifi dans les restaurants, demandez le code. Chiens bienvenus. Bière à 4000 cop, assiette de poissons frais à 24000 cop. Tous les gens sont très sympas et accueillants. Par contre, personne en semaine, tout est fermé, très tranquille, en sécurité. Le week end, un peu de monde mais c’est très raisonnable, les restaurants sont ouverts.
Beaucoup de vent, on dort bien :)

Great place. Free, quiet, safe. Restaurants around with fish. Perfect for a night or two.

Really nice place to spend a night on the way north. We spent our first night camping on this beach during the week and it was very quiet, we didn't see anybody. When we returned from Minca, we spent another night on sunday. The beach was crowdy but around 6 all the people were gone. We bought a fish from a restaurent and planed to cook it on the fire but we were told that we couldn't make fire on this beach due to palapas. The guy from the restaurent cooked our fish for free. Watch out if you are sleeping in tent, it can be VERY WINDY.

Still free. Not very windy when we were there but a lot of mosquitoes after dusk. No one there except some restaurants setting up for the weekend and quite happy for us to stay. Beautiful sunset

It is definitely deserted during the week. We are in a roof top tent and it was pretty windy but we were able to sleep through it for the most part. Bathrooms are scattered around along with trash receptacles. We felt very safe.

Nice place but the wifi is now secure!

We first wanted to stop at Volcano Totumo but too many people hanging us so we drive to Puerto Velero !
So quiet at night and a wondefull little wind !!!

February 10th, 2016 by Fabian Pickel

Dead-quiet during the week, bearable on weekends. very windy, long beach, restaurants open on weekends. Free.

January 28th, 2016 by SteyrXtreme

Nice, quiet, safe and free WiFi (good antenna required).

January 12th, 2016 by landcruiser80

Nice quiet and secure. Men from restaurants and beach were friendly and said that el padron spends the night there too and we could go ask him if we have a problem.

December 10th, 2015 by highfish

Nice and free at the beach.
No people during the week, somethimes a car or bike drives through

November 11th, 2015 by mit-eigenen-augen.blogspot.de

Nice and quiet. We were at the mud volcano First, but they wanted 10,000 pp and plenty of werd People hanging around so we left and found it was a good decision. Plus there is a nice breeze from the Ocean.

the exact n'aime is puerto venero...... cool place

We rejected this site for tent camping because of the insane number of bugs (no-see-ums). The site is as described except that it was not deserted in October. It's called Playa Puerto Veleros (not Playa Veneto)

January 1st, 2012 by fromatob.org

Long sand Beach. Parking on beach in front of row of Palapas. Absolutely deserted during the week. There are restaurants which I assume are open at the weekend but were closed. Free. Porta-toilets are available.
