The beaches in this order are: Barras de Piaxtla, Punta Prieta, Hincha Huevos, Las Tinajas, Las Labradas. Las Tinajas is ideal for relaxing, camping, shore fishing, walking, and spending a quiet afternoon. It is a secluded beach.

If you're coming from Mazatlán, you'll need to pay a toll to get to the beach. Otherwise, you can take a longer route through town on a dirt road. When I arrived, there were no people around, which was nice. However, the beach was somewhat littered with trash, including burnt garbage, along the shore.
