PLAYA BONITA - AND IT IS A BEAUTIFUL BEACH

The other day we had the pleasure of snorkeling at lovely Playa Bonita.  My husband and I are not high adventure people but do like the see some fish while snorkeling in a protected spot.  We got to follow around some puffer fish, yellow and blue jacks and a variety of other fish I want to ID.  It was surprising how many fish we saw while we were snorkeling.
The water was wonderfully warm and we went early in the week so there weren't many bodies around.  Certainly was not difficult to stay in the water for the hour or so  as we did.
Its a nice family type beach with, maybe 30, well maintained beach huts or casetas for hammocks.  Everything was pristine for that matter.  Now doesn't laying in a shaded hammock after a relaxing swim while drinking your cold drink of choice sound positively delicious.  Gotta get his and hers hammocks.  They are much more portable than lawn chairs.

Only 5pesos per car to get in, about $.40Cdn.  That gets you lots of nice parking in a lot with a security guard, basketball and football (soccer) areas, restaurants, plenty of changing and washroom facilities.  You may have to pay a peso or $.08 to gain access to the washrooms.  Likely this person is not paid and this is their wages.  They keep the washrooms clean and are very helpful and so are more than worthy of this wee contribution.

They have some nice features like a number of sets of stairs to get into the water.  Also the sea wall that you can just see cresting the water is a bit of a protection too if you have kids.  The water is about a meter deep by it so they wont get out too far. 

Another nice feature are the open shower units located just as you are heading for the washroom or parking lot.  A nice touch to keep the sand at the beach and not in your car. 

Playa Bonita is located in Lerma about 15 minutes from downtown Campeche. We hope you get to visit.
