Playa Santispac
The most popular beach in Concepción Bay, with calm shallow water, mangroves and small islands. It is the top choice for camping and kayaking.
Playa Santispac lies about 20 km south of Mulegé, beside Highway 1. It has the best facilities and is the liveliest beach in the bay. Beach campsites charge per night, and there are basic toilets, showers and two small restaurants. You can rent kayaks to paddle to nearby islands such as Pitahaya Island. The mangroves on the shore hide small hot-spring pools. The water is shallow and calm, suitable for family wading and paddleboarding. In winter, North American RV travelers often stay for long periods, and on weekends and during Easter the beach is crowded.
