Isla del Rey and Piedra Blanca (Tatéi Haramara)

21° 31.7′ N · 105° 18.1′ W

Across the estuary from town, Isla del Rey carries the San Blas lighthouse and the long Playa del Rey. Just offshore stands the white rock the Wixárika (Huichol) people revere as Tatéi Haramara, home of the goddess of the sea.

Practical

Pangas cross from the town embarcadero to Isla del Rey. The Faro Isla del Rey (21.5367, -105.2953) marks the estuary approach. Piedra Blanca is a sacred site, so be respectful and don't climb it or leave anything behind. Coordinates are from OpenStreetMap.
