Beaches ring the bay all around La Paz , but the easiest to get to are undoubtedly those to the south, Decent ones are Playa del Tesoro , shortly before Pichilingue, and Playa Pichilingue , just beyond the ferry station. Both have simple facilities, including a restaurant. The best, however, is Playa de Balandra , actually several beaches around a saltwater lagoon with eight shallow bays, most of which are no more than waist deep.
