Playa Tripui (El Quemado)
Puerto Escondido, Baja California Sur, Mexico
Playa Tripui, locally called El Quemado, sits near Puerto Escondido, about 27 km south of Loreto in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Danzante and Carmen islands block most waves, so the water stays calm and clear for snorkeling. It is one of the quietest swims in the Loreto area, with primitive camping nearby.
Calm, clear water protected by the islands, though access details can change and the dirt road is not always easy.
How we score beachesCheck the dirt road condition before you drive in, since conditions change after rain. Access near the hotel can be restricted, so ask locally.
Parking is informal off the dirt road. Check on site whether access near the hotel is open to visitors.
The approach is by dirt road and a short walk to the sand. Facilities are minimal, with primitive camping spots nearby.
Calm water makes winter and spring pleasant for snorkeling, and summer is hot with warm water. Tropical storms are a risk from roughly June through November.
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.
