Playa El Tecolote
A wide sandy beach north of Balandra, lined with seafood palapas, with views of Isla Espíritu Santo and boats heading out to sea
El Tecolote sits at the tip of the peninsula, about 3 km north of Balandra. It's the long sandy beach La Paz locals love most on weekends, with fine sand and gentle waves facing Isla Espíritu Santo. The beach has several palapa seafood restaurants serving fish tacos and seafood cocktails, and you can rent umbrellas and loungers. Boats leave from here for Isla Espíritu Santo and for snorkeling on the coral reefs. Camping is allowed. It's free with no entry restrictions and pairs well with Balandra on the same day. A taxi or car takes about 30 minutes.
