Balandra has strict visiting hours and limited access. Pickup is 90 minutes before your session opens to allow time for the drive and entry process. Please be ready at your confirmed pickup point on time.

What to bring

There are no food or drink vendors at Balandra, so bring your own water and refreshments, plus sun protection and a towel. We can also arrange water and chips as an optional extra with your booking.

Help protect Balandra

Follow posted instructions, use authorized paths, leave the mangroves and dunes undisturbed, and take your waste with you when you leave.

Admission is managed by Baja King, but entry remains subject to the protected area's current rules and available capacity.
