Being only a 30 minute bus ride from downtown León, it's hard to imagine a beach this beautiful being so deserted.
True, being up for sunrise certainly helps, but even throughout the day the beaches of Las Peñitas are for the most part deserted.

Just be sure to check with the locals before diving into the water; while some stretches are perfect for swimming, others are a little rougher and can be dangerous for the unprepared.

"We stayed on the property 5 days, there were 4 of us. The property is as described, several entrances but if you rent the entire thing, not a problem, I do see a problem with noise if you have to share the property with another party. Everything was well stocked, there is a multiple booklet explains how things work and just some good notes on the property. We were not able to cook or heat up any food so make note of that, perhaps a microwave would be a good addition. The AC units leaked but...

"La propiedad esta metida en 1 lugar bien metido y peligroso ya que han havido muchos asaltos por ese camino y como hivamos de noche decidi no arriesgar a mi familia. 1 total fracaso. Llame muchas veces al hotel y nadie me contesto la llamada. De verdad muy mala atension al cliente"

"This home is outstanding, and the location could not be better! The pictures do not do it justice - the view is stunning and the house is gorgeous (so much natural light) and sooooo comfortable. The location is a 20 second walk to a magnificent beach – one could not ask for more. Our hosts were nothing short of incredible hosts. They helped us with everything we needed. There was so much to do (boat trip, walking the beach, watching the sunset over the ocean, relaxing on the porch etc.) ...

"The stayed on this house was amazing, very comfortable and spacious. Each bedroom has their own private bathroom. and large patio to have a party. Easy access to the main Highway and downtown Leon. I will highly recommend this place!"

"We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was roomy and clean. Water heater didn't seem to be working or maybe they don't heat their water but we found it refreshing coming in from 90's temps. Food is available at the restaurant. Drinks and snacks easily available at any time. Grounds were clean and nice. Bring repellent, tons of mosquitoes. Location was walkable. Restaurants nearby. Beautiful beach with amazing sunsets. "

"My cousin and I spent two enjoyable nights at Nayal Lodge. The Nayal is a beautiful oasis, conveniently located across the street from the beach with lovely and friendly staff. The property itself is quiet and intimate and very clean, the owners are always available and extremely responsive. Our breakfasts were included and very good, we had dinner one night at Nayal and enjoyed the fish tacos. When we plan another trip to Las Peñitas, we will stay at the Nayal again. "
