Beach overall scores
Playa La Picazon (Baja California Sur) is located outside the Loreto 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, 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
"Very definitely a challenging ride to get there, but VERY definitely worth it. The host (Diego) was a delightful adviser regarding the menu and the meal was superior to anything else we ate in Loreto. Do yourself a favor and go there. If the road bothers you, get over it -- the food and service are ample reward for a little perseverance."
Mike Rafferty
"A stunning restaurant with amazing personal service and an unbeatable location. A mostly fresh fish menu, definitely try the mixed seafood quesadillas and don’t miss the jalapeños that are served upon seating - so good. Really nice people and a very special place.
The road to get there is challenging but you can do it!"
