Its name is derived from a rock located 300 meters from the beach, with its white color resulting from the guano deposited by numerous birds that inhabit the area.
Locals say, because it is a sanctuary for birds whose presence has whitened a massive rock where the waters crash with great force.
It is an ideal place for those seeking solitude, peace, and tranquility. The spectacle of the sea is breathtaking and can be even more enjoyable because there are cabins with hammocks and good, reasonably priced food, where visitors can be very comfortable, as well as a hotel with rooms and parking.
