Beaches

Loreto has beautiful beaches with soft sand ideal for relaxation and water sports; the nearby beaches of Nopoló, Puerto Escondido and Juncalito are also worth visiting.

Bahía Concepción

This long, protected bay with blue-green waters and several little coves can be visited from the highway linking this town with Mulegé. Santispac beach is surrounded by mangrove swamps bordered by rugged hills, and at El Requesón there is an attractive white sand dune adjoining some rocks. At high tide, these rocks are surrounded by water, forming a little island.

Nopoló

27 km south of Loreto, Nopoló is a tourist center developed by Fonatur. It has several medium and small sized beaches with transparent water and a marvelous view of El Carmen Island. This forms a kind of wide sea canal between it and the coastline.

Puerto Escondido

Adjoining Nopoló, Puerto Escondido is a small bay almost completely closed off by Danzante Island, which is quite small compared with the enormous El Carmen Island, just next to it. The Sierra Gorda stretches down to create coves with small beaches.
