Playa Caimancito
La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Playa Caimancito is a calm, shallow beach about ten minutes by car from downtown La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Swimmers like the gentle water, and you can snorkel close to shore if you stay out of the boat channels. It is a good option if you want something close to town without the sunset crowd at Coromuel.
Calm water and decent snorkeling a short drive from La Paz, but it is a manageable family stop more than a destination.
How we score beachesThe condo side is quieter than the stretch by the restaurant, so walk a few minutes down the sand before you set up.
A dedicated lot sits behind a gated entrance, and the drive from downtown is short along the road to Pichilingue.
Public palapas and clean restrooms are close to the sand, and the entrance is a short, mostly level walk. A small restaurant covers basic food and drinks.
The water is warmest in summer, and summer is also hot and humid with a tropical storm window from roughly June to November. Winter is cooler, and mornings are the calmest part of the day.

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.
