North of Paramonga, sand dunes encroach on the main coastal road as it continues the 75km to HUARMEY , where you'll find the exhilarating and usually deserted beaches of La Honda, El Balneario and Tuquillo. If you want accommodation , there's the basic Hotel Venus ($5-10), plus there's a 24-hour restaurant , El Piloto, geared towards truck-drivers. Leaving Huarmey, the road closely follows the shoreline, passing the magnificent Playa Grande , a seemingly endless beach with powerful rolling surf - often a luminous green at night due to phosphorescent plankton being tossed around in the white water crests - and a perfect spot for camping . Some of the desert you pass through has no plant life at all, beyond the burned-out tumbleweed that grows around the humps and undulations fringed with curvy lines of rock strata - intrusions of volcanic power from the ancestral age. In places, huge hills crouch like sand-covered jellyfish squatting on some vast beach.
