Los Órganos

If you are looking for a more relaxed, less-touristy spot to pull up a piece of sand, than head for Los Órganos, just south of Máncora. This beach town, which has a full array of lodging and eating options, is most well-known for whale-watching (August-November) and deep-sea fishing for marlin and other sport fish.
