Playa Los Barriles
23° 41.4′ N · 109° 41.8′ W · approximate
Miles of white sand fronting the old-Baja village of Los Barriles on Bahía de Palmas, where turtles nest and rays and dolphins swim close to shore.
Practical
Coordinate is approximate: placed at Lazy Daze Beach Bar on the beachfront (OpenStreetMap). Beach bars mapped along the sand: Lazy Daze (open daily 9 am-8 pm), La Playa Restaurant & Bar, and Dodo's Beach Club (Tue-Sun 11 am-8 pm). Wikivoyage: turtles nest on the beach and rays and dolphins come close inshore. There is no marina and our sources describe no yacht anchorage off the town (see the Los Barriles entry) - visit by road from Marina Puerto La Ribera (Costa Palmas) or La Paz. Winter westerlies at the head of the bay average 20-25 knots.
