The Best Things to Do in La Paz, by the Record
La Paz has sent exactly one place into the record so far: Playa Balandra, honored by World's 50 Beaches.
-
A mushroom-shaped rock formation called El Hongo rises from the shallows of this protected bay outside La Paz, and it has become something of an unofficial mascot for one of the world's genuinely spectacular beaches. Strict regulations cap visitor numbers and freeze development, so the water stays that improbable turquoise and the sand stays clean. Seven coves sit within the bay, the tide never clears chest height, and you can walk between them all.
