Isla Danzante
A narrow island facing Puerto Escondido, a classic destination for sea kayaking, snorkeling and camping.
Isla Danzante lies about 30 km south of Loreto, opposite Puerto Escondido. It is about 5 km long, with many cliffs, small sandy coves and clear surrounding waters. It is Loreto's most popular destination for sea kayaking and snorkeling, where you may see dolphins, rays and tropical fish. Multi-day kayaking groups often camp on its beaches. Half-day snorkeling tours leave from Puerto Escondido and take about 15 minutes by boat. You can also rent kayaks at the harbor and paddle over yourself (about 3 km, but watch for winds in the afternoon). A marine park entrance fee is required.
