About 40 miles north of San José on the Sea of Cortés you’ll come to Playa Los Frailes. Because the bay is both picturesque and gentle, it attracts campers, yachtsmen and fishermen. Drop anchor in the cove, and you can swim, snorkel, fish, row to the beach, or simply raise the “refreshment” flag and relax. This is a very popular beach with limited facilities, so pack what you need.
