    Great beach- with a bar!

    Balandra is beautiful, but we were ready for a bar when we reached El Tecolote! The water is beautiful and seemed very swimmable (we were busy drinking). FYI- we walked from Balandra to El Tecolote and it took about 30 minutes.

    Not quiet

    A windy beach. Is beautiful and next to balandra beach, the problem is that there are a lot of restaurants and the jet skis are making noise all the time. The cars get to close to the beach.

    I didn’t rent any skis. The beach is a really long stretch of beach, and the whole area where I was was bare without any rentals and without any umbrellas or chairs. Just pure sand and ocean.
