La Paz, Mexico Travel Guidebook
Food scene
Often – and rightfully – packed with locals, this casual restaurant serves heaping plates of the most delicious seafood in La Paz. Try the molcajete mariscos, essentially a mortar (sans pestle) overflowing with fresh fish, octopus, sea snails and shrimp. Throw that on a tostada, add hot sauce and wash down with a Tecate. Perfection.

The most beautiful in a series of beaches north of La Paz, Playa Balandra is an enclosed cove with shallow azure water that's great for toddlers. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for rent, and beachgoers can also explore tide pools, gaze upon Espiritu Santo and hike to neighboring coves.
The beach directly to the north is home to the famous mushroom rock formation, a hit on Instagram and the unofficial symbol of La Paz. Though the top part occasionally tumbles from its perch, dedicated locals always repair it.
