Description

*Don't pay at the front, tell them you're camping in the back*

Super nice and quiet place! just keep driving along the beach (full of trailers and snowbirds) to the left and after ca. 1 mile you will reach a beautiful small beach with 6 palapas, bucket toilet, no internet but the place is super nice and really quiet. easy access for any type and size of car. 200 pesos per night. Restaurant in walking distance at Santispac’s beach.

really nice beach...clean sand & lots of seashells, and no trash! Can get windy in the afternoons but the water is clear and you can still see the rocks on the bottom through the waves!

there's an outhouse with a water butt out front, which I assume you use to 'flush' the toilet. There's a garbage barrel here as well. The owners keep things tidy!

200 per night, but they'll give you a free night if you pay upfront for 7 nights. =)

100% worth the stop and much better than the crowds of Santispac and the price is also astronomical over there. once you go into Santispac Beach just let them know you are coming here and drive all the way to the back. not a problem for our 30ft skoolie still 200 pesos the night

As described. It is probably much less busy than Santispac, La Escondida, or Los Cocos because it's pretty windy; we don't mind and enjoy the quiet.

Great spot. Far less crowded than the neighboring beach, easily accessed with 2wd and 200p a night. Bit windy in the evening but calm as could be during the day.
While there were 80+ units next door, I counted only 8 here with plenty of space to spread out.

Really awesome spot. Quiet. $200 pesos a night. Vendors stop by daily with blankets and tamales and empanadas. Some sand flies and mosquitoes at night. Pelicans during the day. Can get windy. Spent a week here. Love it.

Not sure why you’d stay at the first campground you drive past rather than here. It’s so much quieter, the view is great and the beach seems better. There’ll be 5 campers here and what seems like 100 at the other. It’s only a 15 minute walk to the restaurant at the other beach. I’m on a motorcycle and the palapas here were much better for protection from the sun and wind than the other.

100 mxn for one person on a motorbike

Quiet spot on the beach. Most of the palapas are claimed by what looks like people setting up for the season. A little bit windy. Vendors come by offering fresh baked goods. I got two empanadas and a slice of date cake for 85 pesos. Nightly price is $200pesos a night. Good Starlink signal too.

Very nice place to stay. We had the beach for us self. A lot of shelf's to found. There is quit a lot of stones and shelf's in the shores, so bring shoes for entering the water.

We think this place is better than Santispac. While Santispac has a slightly nicer beach, this one is beautiful and only has around 5% of the number of people that Santispac has. Also beautiful landscape. Bathroom could be better, but if you treat this as a kind of boondocking place, the experience gets better. Trash cans available.

No cell reception on any carrier. Starlink works perfectly with really good view of the sky pointing north. May have a bit of an issue with the hill if you are in the last part of the beach towards the north. Plenty of south exposure for solar panels too.

Palapas included in the fee, if you get one. No need to pay extra. Quiet and safe place.

Nice small campground with no facilities on windy side of peninsula but peaceful and quiet. 6-7 spots and outhouse.

The "windy side" of Santispac. Half a dozen palapas and very quiet. No highway noise. You get here by entering at Santispac, but do not pay there. Playa Punta had a different owner and you pay here.

Walking distance to restaurants at Santispac.

Great spot as described. $200 per night. IMPORTANT. If you plan on camping here, do NOT pay the access fee at the gate on the highway. Tell them that you are camping on Playa Pedrita and you can get through without paying. Jose will collect your money once you have set up. Money paid at the gate does not get you anything at Pedrita.

Nice quiet camping spot. 6 palapas, was full when we arrived but we found a spot anyway. To get there you have to enter the playa Santispec entrance and head left down the beach, past a bunch of RV’s, a large home and across to the other side of the inlet. You can tell the lady at the entrance to play S that you are going to playa piedrita and she won’t charge you. A guy in a truck came by and collected 150 pesos from us. We snorkelled off the beach, some nice coral, saw a manta ray and large school of fish out by the protruding rock.

Nice beach, got charged $100 pesos per motorcycle for 1 palapa, bargained with owner for 2nd night for $200 pesos for 4 of us. No cell service, vault toilet, can get windy. Close to restaurants at Santispac.

Short drive around the beach from Santispac and well worth it. Only 2 of the 6 palapas were taken on Sunday when we arrived in the afternoon and the host came by to collect 200 pesos each per day. Originally wanted 200p for my truck and 200p for my trailer but accepted them both as 1. 30 minute walk to Playa Arena and 10 minutes to Playa Santispac. Ana’s has wifi during the day but not at night to conserve power. Callo Ceviche was excellent, 190 pesos and enough for 3. Few vendors and the rare truck noise.

Pretty, quiet beach around the point from Sanispac. From here you don't hear the trucks from the highway. 200 pesos for a palapa. Garbage and bucket toilet available. You can walk a ways north to the point that you can see in the distance. The afternoon winds can kick up here. If you're going kayaking out to the islands it is best in the morning. Enjoyed this place and it is more attractive on land than Sanispac in our opinion.

Nice little spot between Punta Arena and santispec. appears to be reopened, no big rocks on the road gate is open. five Palapas ready to camp at.

There is no more huge rocks on the road. There is a gate but it was open. Rocky beach not suitable for swimming. Bucket toilet. 6 palapas. I guess it could be very windy. It was quiet while I was there. Didn’t stay. No cell signal no wifi.

Huge rocks on the road, impossible to get there. Difficult to turn around.

Great camping on a scenic bay. The view overlooks a beautiful mountain range across the bay. It is a really gorgeous location. The camping is very quite minus the soft tumblingof the waves. There are 5 palapas spread out so as not to be too close to one another. There are 2 restaurants within walking distance just on the other side of the bay. The restaurant we went to, Anna's, was a little pricey but the food was good. Internet access at the restaurant was 35 pesos. I highly recommend this spot. The cost is roughly 150 pesos.
