The shoreline in question presents a distinctive experience compared to my prior encounters with beaches, particularly in the area where the waves meet the shore. As the water deepens, there are some rocky formations that can be felt underfoot.

The location is pleasant, however, it gives off a vibe of being a timeshare. Positioned on one of the superior beaches in San Carlos/Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico.

I've had the pleasure of renting here a few times and have thoroughly enjoyed everything it has to offer, especially the daily sightings of dolphins swimming by the gray sandy beach.
