Balandra Beach La Paz
Balandra La Paz is one of the most iconic beaches in Mexico, renowned for its breathtaking scenery and crystal-clear waters. This stunning beach features a crescent-shaped bay with soft, white sand and shallow, turquoise waters. The shallow depths create an almost lagoon-like environment, perfect for swimming and enjoying the gentle waves. The beach is framed by dramatic, rugged hills and striking rock formations, adding to its natural allure.
San Rafaelito, located just a short boat ride away from La Paz, is another spectacular destination known for its exceptional snorkeling and diving opportunities. The clear waters around San Rafaelito are teeming with colorful fish, vibrant coral reefs, and other marine life, making it a favorite spot for underwater exploration.
Together, Balandra Beach La Paz and San Rafaelito showcase the best of the Sea of Cortez—unspoiled landscapes, abundant wildlife, and tranquil waters that make this region a must-visit for ocean lovers.
