User reviews

"The beach is a sight to behold, its beauty is unmatched and it's definitely a must-visit destination while traveling along the panamericana. We stopped by for lunch and it was an experience to remember, everything was just perfect. Although there is a small fee for parking your car at the picnic spots, it's a small price to pay for the breathtaking views and serene atmosphere."

"The stunning Long Beach has left an indelible mark on my heart, and I am eagerly anticipating my next visit. Its breathtaking beauty is simply unparalleled, and I am already daydreaming about the warm sun on my skin and the gentle lapping of the waves. I cannot wait to return to this slice of paradise and bask in its natural splendor once again."
