Beach overall scores
Playa el Cocodrilo (Baja California) is located outside the Rodolfo Sanchez Taboada (Maneadero) 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.

"There is a beautiful beach near la Bufadora, but to reach it, people have to walk about 200 meters downhill. I was quite exhausted, but it was definitely worth the effort."
