A beach perfect for solitude and savoring the present moment, although reaching it requires conquering a steep incline, the effort is worthwhile.

It's a stunning location where we had the beach almost to ourselves. I had the incredible opportunity to witness rays swimming right in front of me, along with various other fish.

The beach is absolutely enchanting and secluded. I suggest wearing proper shoes for the rocky path leading to it, but once you arrive, it's truly delightful. The access can be a bit challenging, but it's definitely worth the effort. Be sure to bring your own food and drinks as there are no facilities, and keep in mind that there is no cell phone reception either.

The beach is absolutely amazing, making it a fantastic spot to return to. You will definitely adore it. Additionally, it is one of the finest beaches in Mexico. It's the perfect destination for unwinding, savoring delicious cuisine, and witnessing breathtaking sunsets. Personally, I am absolutely in love with this place!
