Baby Beach is a shallow, crescent-shaped lagoon in San Nicolas, perfect for children and less confident swimmers. The water stays waist-deep far out, and the protective reef keeps the waves calm. It’s a favorite family beach with a very different feel from the resort-heavy north coast.
At low tide, you can wade almost to the edge of the reef, where the water turns a surreal electric blue. Residents like to stand knee-deep facing the horizon for their “edge of the world” photos a striking visual for Instagram. Try bringing your exposure levels way down for an even more dramatic look.
