Playa Las Viudas (Widow's Beach)
Playa Las Viudas (Widow's Beach) Review
Just west of Santa María Bay, this small public beach is often referred to as Twin Dolphin Beach after the Twin Dolphin Hotel, a longtime landmark that was demolished in mid-2007. It's a great place for snorkeling (bring your own gear), but it is open to the ocean and all the inherent dangers that entails, so swim with extreme caution, or not at all if the water is rough. Low tides reveal great tidal pools filled with anemone, starfish, and other sea creatures (please leave these creatures in the sea). Amenities: Toilets, parking lot. Best for: snorkeling; swimming.
- Address: Hwy. 1, Km 12, Santa Maria Bay, Baja California Sur, 23400
- Location: The Corridor
