About About the place

Playa Las Palmas is a crescent-shaped beach located on the Pacific coast, just south of Todos Santos. Reaching this hidden gem requires a drive down a dirt road off Highway 19 (mile marker 57), followed by a quarter-mile walk. The beach is known for its sparkling golden sand, a result of pyrite deposits. It's a relatively undeveloped area, offering a sense of seclusion and natural beauty. Visitors often describe it as an adventure to find, and a rewarding one at that. The palm forest bordering the beach adds to its tropical oasis feel.

Best for

Playa Las Palmas is best suited for travelers seeking a secluded, natural beach experience. It's ideal for those who enjoy off-the-beaten-path adventures and don't mind a bit of a bumpy ride. It's also a good choice for photographers and nature lovers.

Best season

Spring and fall offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds than the peak winter season.

Best time to visit

Weekdays are generally less crowded than weekends. Early morning or late afternoon are ideal to avoid the midday sun and enjoy the golden light.

Tips by Locals

Accessibility

Accessibility is limited. The final quarter-mile walk to the beach is on sand and may be difficult for those with mobility issues. The dirt road leading to the trailhead is rough and may require a vehicle with good clearance. There are no accessible facilities.

Kid friendly

While children are welcome, the journey to the beach and the lack of facilities require careful planning. There is no shade on the beach itself, so sun protection is essential. The waves can be strong, so close supervision is needed.

Pet friendly

Pets are generally allowed, but owners are responsible for cleaning up after them and ensuring they don't disturb other visitors.

Food facilities/restaurants/cafes

There are no food facilities or restrooms available at Playa Las Palmas. Visitors are advised to bring their own food, water, and any necessary supplies.
