The beach from there to Aticama is also called Matanchen. After you leave the village of Matachen you will go along a long strech of beach called Matanchen Beach. As you approach Aticama you will see a big hill/cliff called Aticama Hill where many gringos reside. Around the corner you will come to a Balneario on the left. This is a river with a natural hot spring but the swimming holes tend to be very shallow. On the right you will see the entrance to Aticama Hill - an arch surrounded by bouganvillas. Aticama is known for it's oysters - you can often see oster fisherman along the coast with their bicicles and inner tubes. They hang a bag from the inner tube and chisle the oysters off the rocks in low tide. There are several restaurants in town specializing in seafood and oysters. I personally prefer the other seafood to the osters because of the health risks.
