Really good meal here (we camped at the inland hospedaje). The owner was friendly and helpful. We had langostinos, breaded fish, and delicious maracuya juice.

Nos quedamos una noche, al lado de 2 otros vehículos de viajeros. El lugar es tranquilo; todos estos pueblos son fantasmas en temporada baja. Lindo atardecer!

Estacionamos frente al restaurante Tarawasi, fuimos acogidos por sus dueños Julián y Nalda, ambos encantadores, a pocos metros hay baños y duchas públicas por 1 sol.
Lugar muy seguro, frente al mar y con un excelente restaurante al frente.

peaceful and safe night here.
police make some rounds.
we came from Lima till here to avoid all those warnings regarding handgun robberies.
nothing special, it's a fisherman village, and weather can be hazy.

Funny, I wanted just to go to Tortuga beach because of the nice reviews and choose this restaurant to eat something and they offered me to park the car close by. And later I saw on IOverlander that TaraWasi was already mentioned. It is a super place, nice music, nice fresh food, very friendly owners Julian and Nalda, I will never forget them. Had a very good night sleep and a fresh swim

One of several restaurants (with rooms) who'll share their bathroom with you if you eat there. There are also public toilets/showers in the village which are super clean and modern (s/3 for a shower) so that'd be a cheaper option if you prefer to cook your own food. You can park and stay anywhere on the sea front. This time of year the place is dead. Julián (from País Vasco) seems nice enough and is happy to take guests. Pebble beach, no sand, desperately in need of some love.

Parked close to the “Tortugas” sign in front of Pablo restaurant, which was the only place which was open when we arrived after dark. Level ground nice view for breakfast (sat on one of the benches). The city was deserted. No facilities.

We overnight between Tortugas restaurants and Teyko. Nobody bothered us, super quiet night and we feel safe.
Not noise at all! No dogs, no music and no trash too!!! (maybe its because is off season). Super easy to big rig.

Tarawasi was closed.
Bodega Chaposa next to was open.
Save and quiet night.
Food was a bit expensive and not so good, so better only drink something and ask for overnight stay and the toilet and give a little tip for this.

Parked on the beach and had a beer at the restaurant. They didn't do food that night so we went elsewhere for dinner. Friendly restaurant owner.

Beach is not bealtifull. Only to sleep. Quiet and safe place.

Nice and quiet place to stay overnight. The restaurant is very pricy we paid 90 soles for 2 adults and one child, there was supposingly no ingredients left to make the lower priced dishes. It was definitely not value for money.

The owner, Julian, is from Spain and his wife, Nelda is from Peru. They are closed from May to July (when they go to Spain) and Jan and Feb is peak season and very busy so sleeping on the front might be a problem in these months. They have 4 rooms available from 70s matrimonial now (140 in peak season) Very quiet and peaceful now and it is a beautiful bay. They even had a large band of people collecting litter this morning, very rare for Peru!

You can stay before the restaurant. The owner also allowed us to use the toilet and the shower. And the food is very tasty.

Magnificent staying for the night right on the beach, quiet, no infrastructure. (avoid weekends) Free

Panamericana turn right to Tortugas. Tortugas is still a sleepy fishing village.
