Los Barriles Mexico is the PERFECT Town Without The Crowded Beaches

There are sooo many beaches in Mexico. And they are all different in their topography, their vibe, their amenities and even their climates

For many people, living in beach towns like Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Los Cabos and such seem to be too busy and noisy.

So what is a good place in Mexico for those who want the beach town vibe along with peace and quiet?

I think you'll love Los Barriles, #bajacaliforniasur

Living in Los Barriles is about as quiet and peaceful as it can get on one of Mexico's most beautiful beaches.

Lived there several years. Beautiful. Empty, beautiful, swim able beaches. Many restaurants, such a warm and friendly community. Big expat community in winter. Lots of kite surfing and fishing. Small town feel but lots of activities

I have driven through this place a couple times and I will definitely be coming back to stay for vacation. I love how it’s not crowded and a quiet beautiful beach

[vikkibailey]

There is maybe a couple weeks where it is not crowded but you need to be here year round and see this is a very busy little town. And getting much busier all the time.

Very sweet video of a very sweet and still somewhat fragile and traditional town! It should be understood that quad riding is NOT permitted on on the beach, and there are protected areas where efforts are being made to preserve the natural environment… allowing the sea turtle population to thrive! The fact that it does not feel like a tourist town has to do with the efforts that are constantly being made by those who cherish it to thoughtfully preserve its beauty and simplicity, while finding a balance that nourishes the local community families and businesses!

Drove a rental car through there on way to LA Paz years ago and it was a easy place to get around. Didn't look very swimable most of the waters

[dansauer]

That was a nice surprise that they have that free zone there for RV's. Cheers Mariana.

Visited there in January of 2016 and I fell in love with it.

[julietillinghast]

We drove all the way there from La Paz (1.5 hrs over very windy mountain roads) just to eat the best nachos in the world! Literally the best… at Smokey’s restaurant.

It's a beautiful place, I visit there each trip to the Cabo area. It's only a short distance from San Jose del Cabo.

[FlyingCameraGuy]

We love Los Barriles and we came close to moving there but the distance to major medical changed our mind.

[markrosier]

Thank you for your quick overview of Los Barriles. I just returned from a one week visit there with a good friend and you, unwittingly I'm sure, showed his house at least twice. Thank you for that. We had a wonderful time there and hope to return again.

[subarume]

You're making some really great videos.

A friend has lived there for 20 years 1/2 time, raising her kids there, and 6 years full time. It’s a traditional community, but it’s changing. She attributes this to the Americans who have overwhelmed the community and pushed real estate prices way up to the point that the children of her friends can no longer afford to live there. She says it’s also sad because the Americans largely don’t integrate into the community and don’t learn English. She is both sad and frustrated by these changes. The solution? Who knows?

Great video. Took notes. Will be looking for a great tortilla soup, souvenirs but haven't seen or heard yet in my search if there is live music, mariachi music and a sun set tour...

[camselle]

great little town. was there 5 months ago. very gentrified with Gringos which makes things more expensive but still worth a visit. similar to Loreto but funner- more to do (ATVs, Fishing). hotels aren't cheap but found (with help from the locals) a nice B&B in Buenavista 3 miles outside of town. 2 day trip to Cabo Pulmo was fantastic

[Freebird]

I really like this place, I'd like to plan a trip this winter, love that small town life.

[MRCRUZER]

thanks for the video. Definitely a place I would like to visit.

[BrightonsReviewsandMore]

Great video. LB is a nice day trip from La Paz. Next time we are gonna rent a side by side and have some fun!

[irishmike]

Love your videos, thank you!! Looks like an amazing place.

Heading there tommorw morning, hope hurracaine hilary stays far off shore, summer is my favorite time in Los Brailles except for the darn hurracaines that are not too frequent
