- There are sooo many beaches in Mexico. And they are all different in their topography, their vibe, their amenities and even their climates
For many people, living in beach towns like Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Los Cabos and such seem to be too busy and noisy.
So what is a good place in Mexico for those who want the beach town vibe along with peace and quiet?
I think you'll love Los Barriles, #bajacaliforniasur
Living in Los Barriles is about as quiet and peaceful as it can get on one of Mexico's most beautiful beaches.

Lived there several years. Beautiful. Empty, beautiful, swim able beaches. Many restaurants, such a warm and friendly community. Big expat community in winter. Lots of kite surfing and fishing. Small town feel but lots of activities
It's special isn't it?
Very sweet video of a very sweet and still somewhat fragile and traditional town! It should be understood that quad riding is NOT permitted on on the beach, and there are protected areas where efforts are being made to preserve the natural environment… allowing the sea turtle population to thrive! The fact that it does not feel like a tourist town has to do with the efforts that are constantly being made by those who cherish it to thoughtfully preserve its beauty and simplicity, while finding a balance that nourishes the local community families and businesses!
There is maybe a couple weeks where it is not crowded but you need to be here year round and see this is a very busy little town. And getting much busier all the time.
Love your videos, thank you!! Looks like an amazing place.
That was a nice surprise that they have that free zone there for RV's. Cheers Mariana.
Visited there in January of 2016 and I fell in love with it.
Awesome content as always from MRG!
Great video!
Thank you for your quick overview of Los Barriles. I just returned from a one week visit there with a good friend and you, unwittingly I'm sure, showed his house at least twice. Thank you for that. We had a wonderful time there and hope to return again.
Our pleasure!
thanks for the video. Definitely a place I would like to visit.
Drove a rental car through there on way to LA Paz years ago and it was a easy place to get around. Didn't look very swimable most of the waters
It's a beautiful place, I visit there each trip to the Cabo area. It's only a short distance from San Jose del Cabo.
You're making some really great videos.
Gracias! They’re all for you guys! 🤗
Excellent place to live and enjoy 😊
Great video. LB is a nice day trip from La Paz. Next time we are gonna rent a side by side and have some fun!
We drove all the way there from La Paz (1.5 hrs over very windy mountain roads) just to eat the best nachos in the world! Literally the best… at Smokey’s restaurant.
thanks for sharing! need to check them out
Yes, I had the same experience, its great
...and so much more... 🤗
Great video. Took notes. Will be looking for a great tortilla soup, souvenirs but haven't seen or heard yet in my search if there is live music, mariachi music and a sun set tour...
Loved your video!…..would love to expat from Canada 🍁…..Have a good One
Very interesting. I hear this is also a kiteboarding and windsurfing paradise because of the high winds but I didn't see a mention of this or any beach photos during the windy season which I think runs from November til about March? Thanks for any info!
Hello Mariana thanks for the informative videos, which pueblos are similar in Veracruz & Oaxaca?
I really like this place, I'd like to plan a trip this winter, love that small town life.
It’s a cute area for sure
We’d be happy to help you with a tour

Excellent information
thanks! hope you get the free email series bit.ly/3TrWePS
great little town. was there 5 months ago. very gentrified with Gringos which makes things more expensive but still worth a visit. similar to Loreto but funner- more to do (ATVs, Fishing). hotels aren't cheap but found (with help from the locals) a nice B&B in Buenavista 3 miles outside of town. 2 day trip to Cabo Pulmo was fantastic
Very cool!
We love Los Barriles and we came close to moving there but the distance to major medical changed our mind.
Makes sense Bob - you’d have to travel to La Paz

A friend has lived there for 20 years 1/2 time, raising her kids there, and 6 years full time. It’s a traditional community, but it’s changing. She attributes this to the Americans who have overwhelmed the community and pushed real estate prices way up to the point that the children of her friends can no longer afford to live there. She says it’s also sad because the Americans largely don’t integrate into the community and don’t learn English. She is both sad and frustrated by these changes. The solution? Who knows?
Great point :)
I'm not sure that it's only one particular group of people from one country making impacts in each of these towns. You have to remember that Mexico is developing. It's going to continue changing. Just like every other city does in the world that has something attractive to offer
The world is crowded never like before. Big migrations will be the norm, and it'll be felt by everyone. It's inevitable: I've had first-hand exposure being in California for the past few decades. The norm is change. Mexico has always been attractive, but it's safety reputation really slowed things down. But today's reality is different, and it's been much better, and much better understood. Mexico has become very attractive and will both benefit and hurt from the influx. But if the politics can keep up with the population changes, some exceptional things can come out of it.
@@SMoore-vj7bt yes, but their economy didn’t suffer, on the contrary, they had cheap labor at their disposal, while in this town ( los Barriles) receives people with money who in turn the transform the economy for the local people to the extent that real estate, groceries, restaurants and everything else is much costlier to the local people. So it’s a big difference.
@@1EQUALS-INFINITY NOTHING in the entire state of Queretaro costs 80 million pesos!
I lived here for about a decade. Gorgeous, fun sports, peaceful. However, this area has become too expensive for me. Lovely area, if you can afford.
Have you done a video on San Pancho? If not, please do.
Heading there tommorw morning , hope hurracaine hilary stays far off shore , summer is my favorite time in Los Brailles except for the darn hurracaines that are not too frequent
Looks like it’s going to lose all of its strength before making landfall in Baja California
Very nice presentation! How much does it cost to buy a piece of land to build a small house in Los Barriles?
What is the cost of real estate… Or monthly estimated budget?
Hola Mariana, thanks for the vids! ^____-
p.s.
Are there perhaps any similarly quiet and relaxed small towns you could recommend in Yucatán or QR? ^_^; Mil gracias!
Yes Chelem and Progreso
@@MexicoRelocationGuide But super hot and humid most of the year on the entire peninsula.
I appreciate your videos and feel your sincerity in wanting to inform and help others. I just have a comment for you to consider. I like you have lived in many places around the globe. In all that time I never gave medical services much of a thought as my focus was leaning more towards adventure. Now walking isn’t on long distances isn’t on my todo list. Unfortunately I’m also not bilingual.
Now I’m 72 and my needs and wants have changed significantly.
Because of your knowledge of Mexico I would ask you to identify smaller or slower paced towns that have or are near great medical facilities. Time matters when serious medical needs show up. Although I don’t have any major concerns it’s only a matter of time before I will be affected. Very few of us have Hollywood ending.
I have a few of them in my channel check them out. Jocotepec, Atlixco, Chapala, Valle de Bravo, La Paz etc 😀
I like your video s
Thank you!
Mariana, have you made a video of interviewing a expat living in a Pueblo or city in Veracruz?
Hola! I’ve done a city tour in Puebla ruclips.net/video/a-ThYAotPmM/видео.html
I haven’t done one in Veracruz yet
Nice introductory video! How far is it to the airport, what utilities are available and what's the average cost to build a new home?
The cost to build a home would largely depend on what materials are being used, who you hire, whether you have an expensive architect or not. I know people who have built homes for less than $40,000 USD and some that have built homes for more than $800,000 USD. It all depends on the house and the people building it
"HOW FAR IS IT TO THE AIRPORT?"
Please stay in the USA. You are exactly the type of person we do NOT want here in Mexico. You would never make it here, with that entitlement and expectation of having everything at your feet--express.
There has been so much building going on in the last 20 years that the town has outgrown its infrastructure. Not enough city water, no city sewer system, streets are clogged up and hardly any parking. However, we have lived there for 23 winters and always considered these annoyances part of the dues to be paid for living in paradise.
@@MexicoRelocationGuide Again, not true!! Please come back and make an accurate video!
Where is Chulas Restaurant in L.B ?
What part of Mexico has the most modern utilities and plumbing?
It's not that certain parts of Mexico have moder utilities- it all depends on the building you live in and how old the construction is.
Hi, I have been considering the possibility to move to Mexico with my husband, once we decide to retire. I have a genetic issue that prevents me to be at altitudes above 3000ft. I would like, if it is not much to ask, to make a video of the cities in Mexico that are not coastal but within that altitude, for people like me. I would appreciate it immensely! Thanks.
thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind
Yes, it's a nice town but this video was taken during summertime when most of its residents are gone. Winter time it's a different story, crowded, windy, lots of water problems. Los Barriles is getting too expensive, it's not what it used to be anymore, and believe me its population is not 2,000, it might be closer to 8,000.
We still think with all of these points, it is a great beach for people to consider. Winter is a short period of time so 3 months isn't a big deal to be able to get 9 months of peace and relaxation :)
Sorry I said winter time, I meant high season which is from late October to mid of May, and I totally agree, it's a great place. Thanks for your response.
ABC Bus goes there from LaPaz?
Not sure?
I know you said inventory was small.but you never gave us rental prices.
That’s because I don’t want this video to be irrelevant in 3 months 😀
Why do you need current plate tags insurance is nullified as soon as you cross the border …I believe you have to get private insurance maybe that’s what you’re referring to
Not sure which part you are referring to
Nice video Marianna. Please don't advertise driving on the beaches for reasons stated in other comments and though we love it for the windsports I think a relocation guide should mention the windy season (as stated in other comments). Cheers
Thanks for watching
Can an RV certified tiny house be parked on a rented lot?
Not sure- I guess it depends on the RV park
Thanks. What is crime rate there? What is internet speed there?
What’s the water situation?
Water in the Baja area is controlled because there is a problem with wells and lakes being depleted. It's important for you to know that you'll need to manage your own water
Not good, during high season we don't have city water everyday, specially neighborhoods around downtown
50 bucks for a salad ? Please clarify
sign me up!
same!
Summer is very hot and humid; go in the winter.
Some people actually want the hot and humid weather. But thanks for the suggestion :)
This is the next Cabo. I know people involved in the biggest construction project currently going on there. Trust me this place is not BEST KEPT SECRET PLACE OR AT LEAST...NOT ANYMORE.
As a American, you can't really own a home in Mexico.
Yes you can 😀
I didn't hear anything about high speed internet???
Los barriles has decent high speed internet- not as great as La Paz but decent
Actually, I think we have to wait for Starlink.
too small. too quiet. too peaceful.
It’s not for everyone 😀
@@MexicoRelocationGuide The video does not represent Los Barriles at all - it's misleading!
