In 2016, Balandra was named “the best beach in Mexico” by USA Today magazine. Balandra is actually a large bay composed of seven sandy white beaches and turquoise waters, surrounded by beautiful rust-colored hills. The contrast between the desert and the sea is stunning! Enjoy lunch on one of Balandra’s secluded beaches, then paddleboard along the shallow coastline. Not far from Balandra is San Rafaelito Reef, where we will stop in for some snorkeling and encounter friendly sea lions.

We recommend bringing a towel, a hat and sunglasses. We recommend you bring a jacket or sweater during winter months as well. Water-shoes are not necessary, but can come in handy.

* Certain swimming restrictions may apply during the summer months (June, July and August) due to the sea lion’s breeding season. The snorkeling activity may take place at a different site.
