What to do at La Placita Beach in Michoacán?
La Placita beach is still a virgin beach. There are no hotels or restaurants nearby, so the only way to get there is to walk along a forest trail that leads you to this paradise. When you get to La Placita beach, you will see that it is not very wide but quite long and beautiful, with white sands and clear blue waters.
Cars are not allowed on the beach because they would damage the sand and spoil its beauty. However, don’t worry about not being able to take pictures because there are several spots where you can safely put your camera while enjoying everything around you.
La Placita has a lot of fauna and flora, such as palm trees, coconut trees, sea grasses, bushes with berries (which taste like cherries), huge rocks where some birds sleep during the day (I think they are owls). You will also find here silence and tranquility, which makes it an ideal place for meditation or just relaxing near the wonders of nature.
