Go to La Perla for a day, which is a beautiful, relaxing restaurant right on the beach! They will set you up with a table, chairs and an umbrella! Everything on their menu is Delicious!

A great protected beach. Beautiful from end to end and a great way to spend a day. One of our favorites anywhere in the world. We can't wait to go back

La Ropa was very crowded with children because of school vacations. Good people watching, though. Many fun restaurants; can't beat eating breakfast on the beach with your toes in the sand. Many vendors on this beach; can get pesky.

Our 3rd trip and we have always enjoyed the casual rhythm of the area and natural beauty of the beach. Never crowded and almost empty during the week. Just grab a restaurant table on the beach, order a drink and food and you are good for the day.

Locals outnumbered tourists 3:1 resulting in very authentic atmosphere. Soft sand, small waves and warm water made it conducive to long walks. Good food and drink choices along the beach. Local vendors were not pushy and the prices were not that good compared to in town shopping.

not too many hawkers, wave action acceptable, interesting birds, if you are a birder. Excursions available from the beach.

Nice place but too many people. You have to rent an umbrella at a restaurant or take your own. Soft sand and nice waves for children. Not too clean.

Easy access, chaises to rent, great water for swimming along the beach. There are lots of available water sports and fishing with the locals. My favorite beach in Mexico.
