Playa Barrigona is a some what remote beach, each time I have been here I was the only one. I have found sea turtle tracks so they can lay eggs.

Travel south out of Playa Samara. There are no signs for the turnoff to this beach. The turn off for the beach is at these coordinates:
N9 53.546 W85 34.463

The beach itself is at: N9 53.004 W85 34.583

Other people do know about this beach as the last time I was here the parking area is better but garbage is piling up. If you do not have four wheel drive be careful. The dirt road is rough.

Enjoy!
