Playa la Llorona, Pacific beach in Aquila Municipality, Mexico.
The beach extends along the Pacific coast with golden sand shores bordered by natural vegetation and clear blue waters.
The Municipality of Aquila has maintained traditional fishing practices through generations, supporting local maritime communities along this coastal area.
The beach name comes from a natural phenomenon where the sand produces sounds similar to crying when walked upon, connecting to Mexican folklore.
Visitors need to bring essential supplies as the beach lacks tourist infrastructure, though basic accommodations exist in nearby fishing villages.
The mineral composition of the sand creates an unusual acoustic effect when compressed by footsteps, producing distinct crying sounds.
