Going north and U turning at the La Paz Pedregal you will find the most popular beach in La Paz (for locals anyway). Why? because it’s the closest to town yet it’s not at the Malecon. Rocky slopes frame the sandy beach (I swore I wouldn’t sound like a post card but how else can I describe it?) gets sooo full during summer weekends. All beaches are very crowded during summer, since movie theters came to town we have two things to do: go see a movie or go to the beach.

Allot of people who have no car can still walk to the coromuel beach and you can stroll all along the Malecon to Coromuel Beach at night it’s very well lit. I remember when my husband and I would take our bikes and ride to Coromuel as exercise, then take a swim on the warm ocean at night then ride back. I wonder if that’s why we didn’t have love handles? (pondering)

We are so close to the equator that no La Paz native will go to the beach during the winter months ( hey, we’d really freeze even though it only gets to 54ºF  average lowest at sunup, really, it’s freezing).

Right now Coromuel Beach is being remodeled and it looks like a mall with no parking (wonder who had that genius idea) cars during building actually have to park on the hyway.  We went to Tecolote Beach on a very crowded summer sunday and it took us over an hour to go from la Concha Beach to el Coromuel, normally it would take 2 minutes.

So obviously like everywhere in Mexico the authorites lack imagination and spend money so that tax payers see that, well they’re doin’ somn’.

I’ll post again when they finish the project and I’ll let you know how it turned out.
