Playa Juncalito
Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Playa Juncalito is a sheltered bay south of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico, ringed by hills and small islands, with calm water over fine gray sand mixed with stones. A little fishing village and an estuary sit behind the beach. Local families camp here in summer, and you can fish from shore.
Loreto families have camped here for years and the sheltered, calm bay shows why, though facilities are minimal and summer weekends fill up.
How we score beachesShore fishing here can turn up snapper and grouper. Summer weekends are the busy stretch when families set up camp for days.
Parking is informal near the beach, a roughly 20 to 30 minute drive south of Loreto. A few palapas are available.
A short walk leads to the sand, which mixes fine gray sand with stones. There are no developed facilities.
Summer is the camping season but also the hot one, with a tropical storm window from roughly June to November. Winter and spring are cooler and calmer.

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.
