If you go to Colonia, try to go to Ferrando Beach. It´s a beach situated among the woods. Really nice to have a nice view of the river, walk with your wife or girlfriend among the beach, and have some drink in situ. The beach is not so big but it is another option to do in Colonia if you... More

A very beautiful spot just outside the city of Colonia. Walk (or drive) to the end of the main drag (Flores). You will see two gas stations. Turn right after the far one and walk 1 - 2 kms... right at the round about, another 100 mtrs you will be at the beach. Just before the beach is a road... More

I stayed on full day at Ferrando, definitely a recommended spot if you like the beach. Fresh river, wide beach, comfy. Aprox 20 minute bike ride. Best: Quiet, at least in November, better suited for couples. Not so good: If you can take your own food and drinks, the bar is nice but far from the beach. You won't have... More

Very quiet beach away from the hustle of this busy little village. Not sure about walking to or from it in the dark, but a must to visit during the day.

Just 20 min by bike. A nice open river-beach to chill out. Perfect for pets and read friendly couples. Advice - take your own food & beverages!

Having read about Playa Ferrando on this site, an article on a newspaper website, and some brief notes in a guidebook, we thought this was worth the effort visiting. Now although we went against the advice and walked there, making the final destination even more disappointing, I have to say, that regardless of how you get there, it is certainly... More
