Bahia San Luis Gonzaga
Bahia San Luis Gonzaga, Baja California, Mexico
Bahia San Luis Gonzaga, or Gonzaga Bay, is a wide, quiet stretch of the Sea of Cortez coast in Baja California, Mexico, and for many travelers the first big, empty feeling section of Baja on Highway 5 heading south. Alfonsina's beachfront resort offers rooms, a terrace and water sports. Camping is common along the shore.
A big, empty bay with a friendly beachfront stop, though it is remote and summers are extremely hot.
How we score beachesFill your fuel and water before the drive, since services are sparse. Alfonsina's is a handy stop for a meal or a room.
Drive Highway 5 south and park at the resort or along the shore access.
Access is by paved highway and then short dirt tracks to the sand, with limited facilities away from the resort.
Summers are extremely hot, and winters are mild, which makes late fall through spring the comfortable season. The tidal range in the upper Gulf is large, so check the tide before heading out.
More Mexico & Central America beaches
Soliman Bay
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Soliman Bay sits about 20 minutes north of Tulum on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a quieter alternative to the beach clubs further south, with a coral reef sheltering the mouth of the bay and villas tucked right against the sand. Puffer fish, octopus, and the occasional manta ray turn up in the clear water, and a public access point at the north end of the coast road has kayak rentals and simple seafood.
Playa Xcacel
Xcacel-Xcacelito, Quintana Roo, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Xcacel Beach sits along Mexico's Riviera Maya coast, protected since 1998 as a sea turtle sanctuary where green and loggerhead turtles nest from April through October, releasing more than 200,000 hatchlings most years. A cenote sits just inland from the sand, and the whole stretch has stayed undeveloped specifically because of its protected status.
Chacala
Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico · Mexico & Central America
Chacala sits in a small cove on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, a nearly mile long beach of soft, pale sand lined with palm trees and palapa restaurants. The town holds around 300 full time residents, though visitor numbers climb sharply during Semana Santa and Christmas, and jungle covered hills rise up on either side of the bay.
