The Top Thing to Do Near Playa Balandra
-
Playa Balandra is a protected bay near La Paz where the government actually enforced the rules, so it still looks the way beaches are supposed to look. Seven connected stretches of sand, water so shallow you can walk the whole bay, and a mushroom-shaped rock formation called El Hongo that everyone photographs. Families, snorkelers, and people who just needed to lie down for a while all share the same impossibly calm, clear water.
