In La Paz’s surrounding areas there are several beaches and forest areas where you can go camping in quiet and isolated atmospheres.

Puerto Balandra – Lies 22 km (14 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 11. This saltwater lagoon has eight bays with calm waters. A notable attraction here is an emblematic rock formation known as El Hongo. At this place you’ll find a mangrove zone and a sand dune area close to the coast. You can go camping near both of these locations.

Bahia Concepcion – Located 451 km (279 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 1. This is considered one of Mexico’s most beautiful bays, as it has clear waters in which you can observe countless marine species. Throughout this area’s 1171 sq. kilometers you’ll find a series of coves and small bays where you can park a RV or pitch a tent.

Playa El Tecolote – Located 25 km (15 mi) north of La Paz, off Highway 11. This is one of La Paz’s most visited beaches. It has a gentle slope, which is ideal for relaxing and basing in the sun. Because this is a long beach it has become a very popular camping location. The best spot to go camping here is on the beach’s eastern end, where you’ll find a dirt road that leads to the bay.

Bahia de Los Muertos – Located 57 km (35 mi) southeast of La Paz, off Highway 286. At this site you’ll find two beaches that lie north of the bay where you can go camping: Cueva de Leon offers parking for trailers, while Punta Arena provides camping sites.
