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.

"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.) ...

"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...

"Den angivna adressen var fullkomligt fel. Den angivna kontaktinformaionen (telefonnr & mail) var tydligen också fel. Inga som helst svar. När incheckningsinfon kom fanns ingen information om hur man skulle ta sig in i boendet! Och den nu uppgivna adressen var till en bensinststion! När jag efter långa och dyra samtal fick tag på en fastighetsskötare sade han " kom inte hit, det är dubbelbokat:. För att få tillbaka mina pengar från VRBO var jag tvungen att ta mig till boendet i alla fall. En helt...

"Staff were super friendly and accommodating. They organized an excursion for me that was excellent"

Hotel Tranquilo

10/10 Excellent

"The outside area of the hotel is absolutely beautiful! The garden is designed with lovely details, different sitting areas, hammocks, plants and a wonderful upstairs patio from which one can enjoy the sunset. Only being there is relaxing. The pool is quiet large and very clean. The hotel is directly at the beach right between Las Penitas and Poneloya. One can take beautiful walks in the morning. The rooms have a strong aircon, generally are clean and comfortable. There are several pillow options which is a nice detail. Most importantly, the service is outstanding. The staff is flexible, friendly and juts generally happy to help. They are always up for a little chat and can provide a lot of information. When my friend got sick, they helped us find a doctor and assisted us in translating and everything else. Food always freshly made in the open kitchen! Try the desserts as well! We loved it and will definitely come back if in the area! "
