Community-led coastal conservation in one of Mexico’s most special surf communities.

Why Saladita Matters

Playa La Saladita is more than a surf destination.

Known for its long wave, natural beauty, and welcoming community, it is a place where the ocean, rivers, mangroves, wildlife, local families, and visitors are deeply connected.

Protecting this coastline means protecting the environment, culture, and way of life that make Saladita special.

Proyecto Saladita is a community-led nonprofit working to protect our coast through recycling, environmental education, conservation, and community action.

Together, we are building a cleaner, healthier future for Playa La Saladita and the surrounding communities.
