The beach has a pleasant atmosphere, but the absence of restaurants or food vendors is a downside. The only option available is a stand that sells coconuts. It's advisable to bring your own food if you plan on staying for a few hours.

Out of all the beaches we visited, this one definitely stands out as the best. It's incredibly clean and boasts stunning views. The sand is truly exceptional and sets it apart from the others.

The sand on this beach is quite lovely and white. It can get crowded, but there's still enough room for everyone. Parking costs 30 pesos. We were unaware that using their tables, chairs, or shades would cost us 250 pesos. Despite the windy weather, we had a great time and found the water to be refreshing during our brief visit.

As far as public beaches in Mexico are concerned, this one is decent. The beach is usually clean and the views are stunning. However, the sand quality can vary from time to time. Food and drink options are available on the beach, and the walking vendors are not as bothersome compared to the public beach in Rocky Point. I find the constant pestering in Rocky Point to be extremely annoying and unnecessary, which is why I prefer coming to San Carlos whenever I can.
