1. Playa Balandra

    A protected cove near La Paz where seven shallow beaches curve around calm waters and a mushroom-shaped rock rises from the sand, kept pristine by strict limits on visitors and development. The bay never deepens beyond chest height, inviting unhurried exploration and a rare glimpse of an uncompromised shoreline.
