Cayo Ensenachos has a horseshoe shape and is a home of two of the most popular beaches in the area called Playa Megano and Playa Ensenachos.

Near the location of the nautical center there is one small rocky section with many coral heads close to the shore, so this area is also great place for snorkeling.
