There was only intermittent water made available for drinking and I had to go to the nearby hostel to fill my water bottle. Meal service was shaky and the staff seemed put out every time you asked for something. Though breakfast was included you have to ask for a voucher each morning from the receptionist who is never there. They also did not seem to offer any type...

Learn more about Las Peñitas

Surfers catch perfect waves along this laid-back beach town's golden shores, while sea turtles nest nearby during hatching season. Grab fresh seafood at beachfront restaurants, then join locals for sunset volleyball matches or boat tours through the Juan Venado Nature Reserve.

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.
