The area is best known as the location of the &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Royal Decameron Punta Centinela]]&#039;&#039;&#039; resort — one of the larger all-inclusive hotel complexes on the Santa Elena Peninsula.<br /> <br /> == The Headland ==<br /> <br /> Punta Centinela occupies an elevated coastal position with panoramic views of the open Pacific. The headland and surrounding coast face the full force of the Pacific swell — conditions here are rough and there is no protected bay. The area is part of the [[REMACOPSE|Reserva de Producción Faunística Marino Costera Puntilla de Santa Elena]] protection zone.<br /> <br /> The elevated vantage point makes it useful for whale watching during the June–September season, when humpback whales pass through these waters.<br /> <br /> == Royal Decameron Punta Centinela ==<br /> <br /> The &#039;&#039;&#039;Royal Decameron Punta Centinela&#039;&#039;&#039; is an all-inclusive resort complex dominating the immediate area. It caters primarily to domestic tourism from Guayaquil and Quito, offering beach access, pools, food, and entertainment in a self-contained package. The resort sits at the headland and has access to both cliff-top views and the beach below.<br /> <br /> Day passes (for non-guests to use the facilities) are sometimes available — check with the resort directly.<br /> <br /> == Getting There ==<br /> <br /> Punta Centinela is accessible by road from Salinas, approximately 12–15 km south. Taxi from Salinas: approximately $10–15. There is no scheduled bus service to the headland itself.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> * [[Punta Carnero]] — adjacent headland<br /> * [[Mar Bravo]] — nearby wild beach<br /> * [[REMACOPSE]] — marine protected area<br /> * [[Salinas]] — canton guide<br /> * [[Whale Watching (La Peninsula)]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Beaches]]<br /> [[Category:Salinas]]<br /> [[Category:La Peninsula]]</div>
