La Penita de Jaltemba - all beaches

We stopped by to see how this beach compares to San Pancho, and it's clear that they're quite different. The beach was bustling with vendors, but didn't have the same trendy expat atmosphere as San Pancho. If you're looking for a more authentic cultural experience, Guayabitos is the spot. However, if you want to embrace your inner yogi and sip on some smoothies, San Pancho is the place for you. By the way, we had some amazing fish and shrimp on a stick, but we had to request it to be cooked fresh instead of buying pre-cooked shrimp of unknown age.

This beach is truly delightful, with its pristine cleanliness and serene ambiance. It's the perfect place to unwind and recharge in solitude. However, it's important to exercise caution as the local wildlife, including crocodiles, can be dangerous. Despite this, the beach remains a stunning destination for anyone seeking a peaceful and rejuvenating escape.

The shoreline was immaculately pristine, with an abundance of merchants offering their wares. If you venture fifteen minutes beyond the shoreline's edge, you'll discover a secluded cove that is equally as charming. The trek is undoubtedly worth it, as it is less crowded and free of any vendors.

When we visited the beach in April, we found a sandy shoreline with strong waves. The southern side was peaceful, while the northern side was bustling with activity. We were pleased to see a diligent lifeguard on duty, ensuring everyone's safety. However, it's important to be cautious of jellyfish as they are present in the water. Despite that, the beach offered breathtaking sunsets.

There isn't much to do at the beach, but it's a great spot to snap a few pictures and enjoy a couple of beers. Overall, it's a beautiful beach with stunning scenery.

This untouched beach is only accessible by pickup or 4x4 vehicle, or you can park your car at the top and walk down. The water is tranquil and clear, perfect for swimming. Don't forget to bring your own supplies, and please remember to take your trash with you when you leave to help preserve this natural gem.
