This beach offers an exceptional opportunity for snorkeling and scuba diving, particularly around the sunken ship. Upon payment to the gatekeeper, visitors can drive into the isthmus and discover a stunning snorkeling area to the left of the cliffs.

Once a thriving fishing spot, this particular area has earned the nickname The Tomato and is now privately owned with restricted access by land. However, it remains accessible by sea and boasts stunning hills and beaches that offer breathtaking vistas.

This beach is a delight to explore, with its soft sand and abundance of hills and colorful sea snails. It's an adventure waiting to happen for both kids and adults alike. While the road to the beach may wind through some hills, the stunning views are well worth the journey. Follow the path to the Aquarium, where you can snorkel and observe ocean animals that have made their way to these temperate waters. Even just walking along the shore, you'll encounter an array of fascinating creatures. A visit to this beach is a must for any nature lover.

Is the beach good for sunbathing?

El Tomate beach (Sonora) is not fully equipped for sunbathing. However, if you are not picky and are willing to spread out on a towel, you can sunbathe here as well. The natural shade will allow you to hide from the scorching sun in the peak of its activity. Well, the photos of our visitors will be the best proof of that, all the available photos of the beach are above.This beach is poorly suitable for sunbathing. First of all El Tomate beach (Sonora) is completely lacking in comfortable sunbathe facilities. There are no sun loungers and umbrellas, this is usually not a problem for an unsophisticated tourist who can relax on a towel, but in this case the rest can be very uncomfortable due to pebbles.Lying on it is possible, but is far from comfortable. In addition there is a lack of natural shade, which leaves you alone with the summer sun. So our recommendation is that you can sunbathe comfortably on the El Tomate beach for a short time, and not at the peak of sunbathing. If you want to explore the photos of this beach - they are above on the page.
