You can’t miss out on Balandra! This beach is world famous for its shallow, idyllic turquoise waters. You'll also recognize our beloved "Hongo," the iconic mushroom-shaped rock formation. Make sure to arrive early and claim your space on the beach, since it gets crowded!

This is the most famous beach to La Paz. If you go on the weekends you should go early to ensure that you are not turned away.

Come during low tide for an easy walk out to Mushroom Rock. Hide tide for snorkeling - you will see trumpetfish and lots of other tropical fish.

The most beautiful in a series of beaches north of La Paz, Playa Balandra is an enclosed cove with shallow azure water that's great for toddlers. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent, and beachgoers can also explore tide pools, gaze upon Espiritu Santo and hike to neighboring coves.

Though the top part occasionally tumbles from its perch, dedicated locals always repair it.
