Was lucky to get there with Selkie Travels- after exiting snorkelling with Sea lions we got to this beach for lunch - it was the most breathtaking beach I have seen- sand is white and water is so super blue- it was worth every penny - make sure you save a day for this trip as it is not close from La Paz and all depends on weather as well — so book it and enjoy the raw beauty of Baja

Balandra, amazing beach, speechless must visit if you are in Los Cabos San Lucas must take the photo with the mushroom rock it is just beautiful. clean clear ocean waters. from San Jose del Cabo it takes approximately 2.5 hours by driving your own car. bring your drinks and food. MUST bring water shoes since the entire beach is full of rocks. leave your personal belongings in the bus, car or bring a waterproof pouch for you phone, money, keys. you must climb the rocky mountain and enjoy the spectacular view, it is out of this world.

13&15/12 We three middle aged guys from London are nearing the end of a fortnight in BC. We hired some bicycles in LP to explore the Malecon and beyond, having heard that this was the way to do it! We cycled to the skate park at the end of the special central carriageway cycle route to the north. It looked like you could continue along the Malecon pavement so I went ahead of my friends to find this bay with a pier and some restaurants and bars. I called up my friend to bring everyone along. We all met at the end of the pier (no cycling, ooops, but it was empty) and then made our way to a bar for a 2-4-1 margarita (100 pesos) at at Clams & Beers. These turned out to be very cheap tequila so we drank them slowly,being the only tourists in the quite empty whole bay (Friday). We cycled back just before sunset. We never stayed on the inviting beach. The next day we went to Playa Balandra by Uber, paddled around (no swimming as so shallow), saw sunset, got rather merry, got eaten by mosquitoes and then caught the last bus back to the centre at 18:30. Today is a slow day as a result and a short 47pesos Uber to here by 15:30 on the Sunday and found a quiet beach again. This time we were prepared for a swim and found ourselves a shady spot by a cream umbrella and red table. We spent an hour and a half there including a swim. The temperature is a bit too cold for a lot if locals but not us Brits! It was also quite clear with a few yellow and black fish zipping around. A few locals were snorkelling. On another review I saw that someone said it was murky water and they may as well swim iff the Malecon in town. I heard from elsewhere that the centre is near where the sewage outlets are so this is not advisable! The Coromuel beach has a blue flag, is endorsed by various bodies and the beach was remarkably devoid of litter compared to some places we have visited! A few fag ends, cable ties (from hanging up xmas decorations) and bottle tops were the occasional litter. The water was clean (unlike Todos Santos and San Lucas where the immaculate beach throws up polystyrene balls occasionally). We were approached a few times by the waitresses from the bars offering drinks, including buckets of beer. We declined graciously. A small open air bar was open and had a few people drinking in it which was nice but our Uber was imminent so off we went. As the sunset got obscured by clouds (it dips behind the hills on the other side of the bay anyway) we decided to pack up early and leave before the rush. Another 50pesos Uber got us back.

This is a very beautiful, calm and cool beach. We came here while we waited for the ferry to depart. The place is great, but keep in mind there are no palapas, trees or any type of shade. The only way not to be directly on the sun is by bringing your own things, or eating/drinking on one of the restaurants on the beach.
