Rugged peaks plunge into a vibrant mangrove swamp, forming an ecological wonder which sprawls out into a vast sandy-bottomed pool, creating a small slice of paradise in the desert with all the different shades of turquoise on display. Seven white-sand beaches line Balandra Bay, only one of which is accessible by car. Playa Balandra is commonly referenced as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Named the world’s “Best beach for activities” by Lonely Planet in 2026.
