Playa Matanchen
About 3 miles (almost 5 kilometers) south of San Blas in the farming and fishing village of Aticama near the great surf beach of Playa Las Islitas is Playa Matanchen. Known as one of Mexico’s widest, sandiest beaches, this beach spans a length of 4 miles (6.5 kilometers) and a width of 30 yards (27.5 meters) with soft, fine golden sand, which make it ideal for playing volleyball, soccer, and other beach activities. The Pacific Ocean at Playa Matanchen beach is relatively calm with smaller waves, so it’s also a great spot for diving, jet skiing, and beginner surfing.
