Final Up to date
Let’s face it – some seashores are practically an identical.
To not say there aren’t distinctive points to any specific vacation spot, however vacationers are sometimes content material no matter whether or not it is the underrated shoreline of Texas, record-breaking Caribbean islands, or Mexico’s hidden gems.
So long as there’s solar, sand, and good motels, there isn’t any cause to be too choosy.
That being mentioned, some seaside locations’ sheer magnificence is unfathomable with no direct comparability.
That is the case for a secret seaside in Mexico, and no, it is not Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, or Los Cabos.
The latter being the closest, nevertheless.
A preferred day journey or weekend getaway from Cabo, the gorgeous coastal metropolis of La Paz beholds an otherworldly treasure rated as one of many best beaches in the world.
Numero Uno On TripAdvisor
Oftentimes, vacationers scour TripAdvisor for the very best inside ideas, whereas others know higher to depend on, you realize, this nice little place referred to as Journey Off Path.
Since there isn’t any ‘seaside’ class for our annual Journey Off Path’s Greatest In Journey Awards, no worries, we’ll let it slide this time.
However my vote, in keeping with TripAdvisor, would definitely go towards Balandra Seashore.
Receiving such excessive marks isn’t any simple feat as many locations change yr to yr on what’s perceived as ‘greatest’.
Take Florida’s Clearwater and Siesta Key, for instance. These 2 close by seashores duke it out every year for world supremacy in search of ‘#1 seaside’ standing.
Balandra is tucked away from the principally laid-back metropolis of La Paz on an unsuspecting cove with shallow waters, good for swimming, snorkeling, and even kayaking throughout the mind-bending blue water.
Rated as #1 in Mexico, you possibly can kiss Cancun goodbye, particularly since there at the moment are nonstop flights to La Paz.
The one factor lacking is the rows and rows of all-inclusive resorts. However don’t fret, Los Cabos is simply 2 hours away ought to you’ve gotten the urge to splurge!
La Paz Is No Longer Simply A Day Journey
Previous to this yr, La Paz’s declare to fame was being a enjoyable tour from Cabo for extra tradition, fewer crowds, cheaper but scrumptious delicacies, and a famend seafood scene.
As La Paz continues to embrace the highlight, an increasing number of is being revealed about this metropolis, and with new luxurious stays opening like the stylish Hotel Indigo, Individuals have been extra eager on giving this stunning seaside metropolis an opportunity.
Balandra Seashore is the icing on the cake, although. Fairly truthfully, this one-of-a-kind surprise appears unattainable however is among the best bucket-list seashores to achieve.
Whereas La Paz presents different seashores, Balandra is the one one that really feels such as you’re inside a postcard or your factory-set laptop background.
It simply does not appear actual for a seaside to bestow such eye-popping shades of blue, making La Paz all of the extra interesting for longer stays.
Plus, when visiting Los Cabos, lots of the area’s seashores aren’t swimmable.
La Paz provides vacationers full entry to benefit from the pristine waters underneath the Baja solar.
Secluded and surrounded by volcanic cliffs, mangroves, and the unmissable Mushroom Rock (Balandra’s model of Cabo’s well-known El Arco), a blissful seaside escape in Mexico merely cannot be topped.
There’s one draw back, nevertheless. Nothing could be good, proper?
Balandra does limit visitors and fees an entry payment, however it’s solely about $3. See how far that will get you in Cabo…
Tip: Present up early to safe a spot as solely 450 individuals are allowed to go to at every time slot:
8am-noon and 1pm-5pm.
La Paz Has By no means Been Simpler To Attain
La Paz is not precisely a hidden gem anymore as many Cabo vacationers have been within the know for years. Drawback being you would need to fly into Cabo, take care of visitors, amongst different hassles, simply to get right here.
Positive, you possibly can hop aboard a Mexican airline, say, by connecting in Mexico Metropolis, however many people favor nonstops and why would not we?
Alaska Airways heard the message loud and clear this summer season, saying the one nonstop flight to La Paz (LAP), making journeys simpler than ever.
Starting November 20, 2024, vacationers can select between 2-3 flights every week from Los Angeles (LAX). Tickets are on sale.
Thanksgiving in paradise, anybody?
