Balandra is considered the most beautiful beach in Mexico and is located in Baja California Sur. If you want to know more about this beach, keep reading the description.
* How to get to Balandra
There are different ways to get to Balandra from La Paz and are the following:
-By plane:
We arrived by plane from the CDMX but there are also flights from Guadalajara and other major cities of the Republic. The trip lasted 2 and a half hours and was a direct and economical flight. If you want to know how to get cheap tickets consult our blog
-By car:
In the airport or in the Central Zone on the boardwalk you can find the car rental companies. The cost per day is approximately $ 500 pesos, this depends on the type of car you choose, insurance coverage and days. It is preferable to quote on all the rental companies before deciding on one, as they do not offer the same prices and some are cheaper than others. It is tedious but it is worth doing to not pay more, take into account that you will need a credit card for a retention that they do for security and to pay, they do not accept cash.
-By public transport:
Balandra is only 30 minutes from downtown La Paz, you can go by taxi that charges approximately $ 200 pesos for 1 to 4 people or by bus from the "Águila" bus terminal for $ 100 pesos. Prices are subject to change without notice and depending on the season.
Also if you visit San Jose del Cabo, Cabo San Lucas or Todos Santos you can move to Balandra.
* What to do in Balandra
Balandra is a very calm beach, we suggest you arrive early so that you can touch a free palpa and you can settle down as long as you want and cover yourself with the sun. If you do not reach palapa do not worry right there you rent umbrellas. Make sure you bring your own food and drinks because there are no restaurants or shops where you can get something, just a van that offers potatoes and fruit.
The main activities are:
-Rental of Kayak or paddle board at $ 350 per hour to go to the famous "Hongo" and take your selfie.
-Snorkel, take your equipment so you do not miss all the spectacular fish that are in the sea.
- Hiking, there are 6 trails to go. Arrive early so that the night does not grab you and you can travel calmly and without haste. Do not forget to bring water, sunscreen and a cap or hat because the sun is super strong.
-Nadar, put on the swimsuit from your hotel since there is no where to change, unless you make a house in your car so that nobody sees you.
-Walk inside the beach, the water is cold but with the heat it makes is rich. We suggest you wear water shoes because there are parts where there is a lot of pebbles and they hurt very ugly.
