Beaches/Sun Tanning/Walks

The appeal of the beaches in Playa Troncones is that they are clean, safe and, most importantly, not crowded. You can suntan in relative isolation, go for walks with someone very special, or just float around in out magnificent pool. You can often see whales and dolphins swimming and jumping along the tidal pools in front of your vacation rental.

Sea turtles also frequent our beaches to lay their eggs which are usually placed in protected areas to incubate until they hatch. The hatchlings are sometimes raised in small tubs for a few weeks to give them a better survival rate before being released. One more thing …….the sunsets from our vacation rentals are astonishing……

Swimming

One difference you will notice when you swim in our Troncones ocean, compared with Mazantlan, PV, or even Cancun; the water temperatures are several degrees warmer here ----you don’t have to hold your breath until you get wet. Although the beaches are shallow in Troncones…..you can go out over 100 feet and still be below your waist, you should use caution since in Troncones occasionally we have rip tides. It is not considered particularly dangerous, but it is advised that you go swimming with a partner or “buddy”.

Boogie Boarding

Our waves are absolutely perfect for boogie boarding. We supply rental boards for you and you will have so much fun -----and you don’t even have to go out very far to get long, long, fantastic rides!

Bird Watching

There is a great variety of birds to see walking along this Troncones beach, up into the hills or even from your breakfast table in the vacation rental as they come for a drink and bath in our pool. Join a walking tour with local ornithologists…..
