Playa Balandra isn't just another beach โ itโs a whole journey. We took a speedboat across the bay as part of an excursion, and honestly? That alone was worth it ๐จ๐
You completely skip the long car line (since entry is limited) and glide straight into paradise.
โจ On the way, we spotted whales breaching in the distance ๐ (last picture), and even passed a sunken yacht lying dramatically on the waterโs surface โ kind of eerie, kind of cool (picture 6)๐ฅ๏ธ๐
Once we arrived, it felt like stepping into a dream: shallow turquoise water you can walk through for what feels like forever. Cold at first? Yes โ๏ธ. But totally refreshing under that Baja sun ๐โ๏ธ
Of course, we made our way to the famous Hongo de Balandra โ the mushroom-shaped rock you have to see in person ๐๐ธ
โ ๏ธ Bring water shoes if you want to get close โ the rocks are sharp and slippery!
โก๏ธJust know: excursions give you limited time on the beach (about 30-40 minutes). Since you can't swim there due to shallow water, that's enough of time. Still, every second there is worth it.
