During our visit to Mexico, we made a wise choice to explore the beach, which turned out to be the highlight of our trip. The stunning beach was simply breathtaking, with only a fisherman taking a peaceful nap and two adorable dingo perros. The water was so clear that you could see the bottom, and there were numerous shaded areas to relax in. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an armed guard stationed at the entrance, and a small fee is required to enter the community. This spot is perfect for novice surfers, and it's definitely worth a visit.
