Playa Princesa offers a secluded coastal experience in Huarmey, characterized by its tranquil environment and lack of large crowds. Unlike typical sandy beaches, the shore here is composed of small pebbles and stones, giving it a unique and rugged appeal. Visitors should be aware that the ocean floor drops off quickly, reaching significant depths very close to the shore, which can make swimming difficult alongside the occasionally choppy water. However, the water temperature is often described as pleasant, and the occasional formation of natural pools adds to the charm. A local food stand at the entrance provides a convenient spot for a meal, making it easy to spend a quiet afternoon enjoying the impressive ocean views.

Playa Princesa in Huarmey is widely praised for its stunning natural beauty and tranquil, uncrowded environment. Visitors frequently mention the beach's unique character, noting that it features small pebbles and stones rather than soft sand. A significant point of discussion in reviews is the water's depth, which many warn increases abruptly very close to the shoreline. While the water temperature is generally described as pleasant, the choppy waves can make swimming challenging for some. Reviewers often recommend the beach as a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the scenery rather than for traditional swimming. The presence of a food stand at the entrance is also highlighted as a convenient and recommended feature for visitors.
