Highlights
Balandra Beach has been called the most beautiful beach in Mexico — and arriving by private boat, anchoring in the turquoise shallows, and swimming to shore makes that claim feel accurate. Every Balandra booking is a private boat exclusively for your group — no strangers, no shared schedule, up to 10 guests. Includes a stop at San Rafaelito sea lion colony (September through May) where sea lions approach snorkelers within arm's reach. June through August a spectacular alternative snorkel site is substituted during the seasonal CONANP closure. Balandra entry bracelet included for all guests — no cash needed, no advance purchase required. Snorkel equipment and fresh ceviche on the beach included. Wetsuits available to rent. Year-round.

About La Paz
La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur, a calm Sea of Cortez port with a seafront promenade, island beaches and sea lion colonies offshore.
La Paz lies on a sheltered bay on the Gulf of California, also called the Sea of Cortez, in the south of the Baja California peninsula. Its malecón, a long seafront promenade, runs past sculptures, cafés and ice-cream stalls. The cathedral stands on Plaza Constitución, the Museum of Anthropology and History covers the peninsula, and the city has a long past as a centre of pearl fishing.
