Sand: from North to South
Sand: from North to South
Starting in the north, the region where I was born, we find Cabo San Lucas. For many foreigners, the gateway to Mexico. Many think that the most beautiful beaches are the ones in the Caribbean, but in Baja California Sur and Cabo San Lucas, the grains also shine with a dazzling sun and a white color that makes the water look turquoise.
The state of Nayarit has a mysterious sea, surrounded by jungle in the middle of nowhere. There are no towns, no roads, just waves and rocks. Its sand is cold and indifferent. It is nature itself. In the west of Mexico is Jalisco, a place to find peace. Its sand is smooth and peaceful. We don’t think of sun, sand and sea when talking about this state of the country, but there we have some of our most beautiful beaches, without a doubt a well-kept secret. The sand of Jalisco perceives incomparable sunsets.
In Oaxaca the sand is as varied as the food. From the light and fine sand of Carrizalillo in Puerto Escondido to the dense and dark grains of Mermejita; this state has all contrasts of nature itself. Zipolite gives us what no other beach in Mexico does, to enjoy the sand in tune with the purity of nature. Oaxaca is a free and magical place that represents our country like no other. Its sand is as pure as its vibe.
Yucatán is located in the southeast region of Mexico, which has a wide variety of sands on its 378 km of beach from Celestún to El Cuyo. The Yucatan sand is lively, warm and energetic. Its beaches are deep and serene. Many know Holbox, but few know the paradisiacal sands of its neighbor El Cuyo. For me, the number 1 destination in the Yucatan Peninsula. The clearest sand is surely the one in Sisal, a relaxed beach that enjoys an extensive boardwalk with deep beaches that allow you to appreciate the varied
colors of the Yucatecan Sea. The whitest sand in Mexico without a doubt is in Quintana Roo. World renowned for the turquoise blue of its waters, the beaches of Quintana Roo enjoy that exquisite sand that makes our photographs shine.
