Just a two minute drive from Playa Taurito, heading north along the unspoilt coastline, is the charming fishing village and resort of Puerto Mogan. This is hard to beat as a contrast to lying on the beach. You can wander the tangle of narrow streets and check out the luxury yachts moored at the harbour. It’s a good place to try local foods, or to book yourself onto a scuba-diving expedition, as there are excellent wrecks to dive to.
