Day trip from Baja California Sur, Baja California Sur
Balandra Beach & Playa Tecolote from La Paz
Two of the most beautiful beaches in Baja California Sur lie within 25km of La Paz, making a combined beach day one of the most rewarding and affordable excursions in the state. Balandra Beach's shallow turquoise lagoon and iconic Mushroom Rock are uniquely beautiful, while Playa Tecolote offers a longer beach, palapa restaurant seafood lunch, and stunning views of Espíritu Santo Island. Together they show why La Paz's coastline is so extraordinary.
