Today we retrace our drive on Hwy 1 northbound as we return to Bahia Concepcion and Playa El Requesón for the next 2 days. Todays drive will include a body break and photo stop overlooking the Loreto National Marine Reserve. We will arrive before lunch and have nothing planned during the next 4 days. This is a great time for some beach time R&R or drop over to Mark & Olivia’s Restaurant next door at the Buenaventura Resort. Mark is a huge Green Bay Packer’s fan so do not be surprised if the game is on.
Playa El Requesón, located on the stunning and famous Bahia Concepcion (Bay of Conception) in Baja California Sur, Mexico, is a remarkable destination that offers visitors of all kinds a unique blend of natural beauty and tranquility. Known as one of the best beaches in the region, Playa El Requesón captivates visitors with its pristine white sandy shore, shallow blue waters, and serene atmosphere. This relatively hidden gem is a perfect spot for beach camping or day visits, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the unspoiled beauty of Baja California Sur.
As you arrive at Playa El Requesón, you’ll first notice the breathtaking landscape that stretches before you. The beach is framed by the picturesque rugged desert terrain of Baja California, where cacti and hardy shrubs thrive under the warm Mexican sun.
The contrast between the arid desert and the calm, inviting waters of the Sea of Cortez is striking, making this one of the most spectacular beaches in the area. The soft sand of Playa El Requesón gradually slopes into the bay’s shallow waters, creating a perfect environment for swimming, wading, and relaxing along the shore. Various wildlife call these waters home, including stingrays that frequent the area in the famous spring months and require you to know where you walk.
