Top 5 Things to Do in La Paz: Spend the day at the beach

4. Spend the day at the beach:La Paz has many beautiful beaches, but two of the most visited are Balandra and Tecolote. The calm shallow waters of Balandra make this beach great for relaxing and swimming. Take a short walk to El Hongo, the famous mushroom shaped rock formation. Tecolote is a pristine beach with restaurants, palapas and gear rental. On weekends, the locals enjoy family barbecues and the beach can get crowded. But if you visit during the week you will have the place to yourself.

5. Try the famous seafood tacos:La Paz has some of the best budget friendly seafood restaurants scattered through the Malecón, where you can savor delicious deep fried battered fish, scallops, oysters, clams and shrimp tacos. For raw options, try fresh Chocolatas on the sell (a local variety of clams) and the Campechana cocktails (a mix of seafood bites). Another favorite are the sword fish empanadas.
