Los Muertos is about two things: beach and graveyard. The beach is lovely, a small, secluded cove, sheltered from the big waves, with, at times, fine snorkeling around a few large rocks that poke up out of the water just offshore to the left of the beach. If you go, take snorkeling gear as well as food and drink for the day—it isn’t too far from town, but far enough that if you want to spend the day, you’ll not want to run back to town for supplies.

The graveyard is lovely in a different way. The people of Mexico honor their dead all the time and especially on The Day of The Dead in early November, when everybody comes to the graveyard to visit their dead relatives. The graveyard is on a hillside beneath a number of grand, tall trees, and with the light pouring through the branches, it is a serene and lovely place. If you’re headed to the beach out there, linger for a moment here, and enjoy the graves and their decorations, all bthed in warm sunlight pouring down through the trees.
