Playa Farallon (Veracruz) is located outside the El Farallon settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Playa Farallon with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

User reviews

"The beach is untouched and has stunning views of lush green hills in the distance. It's just a short distance from the beach, and the water is crystal clear with soft sand and no rocks, making it perfect for swimming and strolling along the shore. The blend of the forest and sea creates a magical and natural atmosphere that I absolutely adored."

Lila Flores CJ

"Avoid visiting during windy days as the water may appear murky and the sand and pebbles tend to drift into the water. However, despite these minor setbacks, the beach is quite spacious and pleasant. It's advisable to wear sandals as the sand can get quite hot, and it's a bit of a walk to reach the water."
