    10 Hidden Beaches in Mexico You’ve Probably Never Heard Of

    May 29, 2026 / No Comments

    If you’re looking for an uncrowded escape, you need to know about these hidden beaches in Mexico. Everyone tends to gravitate towards Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and to Cabos, but I’m telling you, Mexico has so much more to offer. If you’re looking to get off the beaten path, head to one of these Mexico beach destinations. Hidden Beaches in Mexico 1. Zipolite Beach Zipolite Beach, or Playa Zipolite is not only my favorite of the hidden beaches in Mexico, it’s also my favorite place to visit in Mexico. You can see the sun both rise and set from this bohemian, clothing optional beach. It attracts people from all…

    From Dolphins To Fish Tacos: The Best Things To Do In Loreto

    August 5, 2025 / 3 Comments

    I just returned from Loreto, Mexico, and while I can’t say it was my favorite place in Mexico, it still had its charms. Zipolite still gets my vote for being the most charming. A lot of people love Loreto because it’s not touristy, which I appreciated. But, it’s also a struggle to find things to do there, which is why there is a lack of crowds. Loreto is located on the coast of Baja California Sur, on the sea of Cortez, and is a sleepy fishing village. I didn’t find the beaches of Loreto to be that nice. You definitely had to get on a boat tour or drive about…

    The Best Cozumel Beach Clubs

    October 10, 2022 / No Comments

    Whether you’re staying on Cozumel or just visiting on a day trip from a cruise, going to one of the Cozumel beach clubs is one of the best ways to experience the beaches of Cozumel. Most of them only ask that you have a minimum consumption or some offer an all-inclusive experience with unlimited drinks and food for a set price. These were my favorite ones that I explored while there. The Best Cozumel Beach Clubs 1. Buccanos Beach Club Buccanos Beach Club was my absolute favorite. It was gorgeous. Water so clear that you didn’t even need a snorkel mask to see the fish, the best food and drinks…

    The Finest Beaches In La Paz, Mexico

    August 6, 2018 / 5 Comments

    La Paz, Mexico, the capital of Baja, California, has some of the most magnificent beaches in Mexico. If crystal clear, gently blue waters and white, powdery sand are what you are looking for, then La Paz is where you want to go. I will mention that the best beaches are located about a 45-minute drive out of La Paz, so La Paz isn’t the type of beach destination like Zipolite is where you can stay in a cabana right on the beach. You do have to rent a car to get to these beaches, as the bus doesn’t go to the most beautiful ones, and while you can take an…

    MiraMar: Stay In A Beach Casa In Yelapa, Mexico

    February 23, 2018 / 4 Comments

    If you’ve ever imagined having your own casa in Mexico that overlooks the beach, you can make that dream come true at MiraMar Yelapa. MiraMar is located in the fishing village of Yelapa, Mexico. It is made up of 5 houses that all have gorgeous views of the bay. I loved falling asleep to the sounds of ocean waves each night and lying in the hammock on my private patio while watching the moon rise each night. I stayed in Casa Marietas 1, which had stunning views. It’s the perfect place to stay in Yelapa if you are traveling alone, or for a romantic getaway for a couple. One of…

About Me

I am always looking for the perfect escape, the perfect paradise, the kind of place that tosses your cares into the sea. Fortunately, I have discovered many! I created this site to show you where to go and how to get there. My goal is to show you that Paradise is only a plane ticket (or boat ride) away. I have inspired many others to travel and to create a better life. I am available for inspirational speaking, coaching, writing, travel planning, and photography.
