Mexico is well known as a beach destination, and with 11,122 km of coastline, it is for sure that many beaches are more popular than others. At WithTravel, we want to offer you an off-beaten path option to explore some of the most low-key, beautiful beach landscapes in Mexico. Let's get into it! 

Maruata 

Maruata, a small community on the Pacific side of Mexico's Michoacán, is situated next to a surf break and the stunning Maruata beach. This hidden gem is a paradise for those who yearn for an authentic Mexican cultural experience, an uncrowded haven with unparalleled access to pristine nature and untouched landscapes. Enjoy the freshest seafood and local dishes, interact with the friendly locals, and get yourself in the vibrant Mexican culture away from the most popular destinations in this beautiful country. 

Chacahua 

Only one hour away from Puerto Escondido, in Oaxaca, is Chacahua. This beach destination is unique compared to other places in Mexico because the population of Chacahua is one of the only Afro-Mexican places. You will witness the history of mestizo culture mixed with Afro roots. The beauty of this town is not only in the empty beaches where you can enjoy a warm tropical day but also discover how tight this community is. If you decide to visit Chacahua, you are in for an adventure! Remember to visit the mangroves to see the crocodiles in the area, camp on the beach or a small Mexican hut, and enjoy the handmade tortillas of shrimp tacos and a fresh beer while watching the sunset right in front of you. 

Troncones

Located in Guerrero and only one hour from the airport, you will find yourself on a beautiful beach called Troncones—a small, quiet town perfect for relaxation, some boat trip adventures and local restaurants. Only one hour from Troncones, you will find more desertic beaches that look like paradises straight out of a magazine. If you want to try surfing, hire a local surf tour guide and ride some of Mexico's best waves. The best part? This area is far from crowded with international tourism so you can experience Mexico authentically.  

Next time you think of visiting a beach paradise in Mexico, will you visit one of these? For a small coastal town with empty beaches and untouched nature, visit Maruata. For a unique experience inveiling the Afro-Mexican culture, check out Chacahua, and for a quiet surf adventure, head over to Troncones.
