Barra de Potosí is a small fishing village on the Pacific coast, in Guerrero, Mexico. Barra means "Sand"bank. The sea opens and closes the lagoon each half year. The sand displacement is enormous, the sea takes it out and puts it back again a few weeks later. The structure of the sand is a bit different than normal, it is more squared, and it makes noise when you move with the back of your feet while walking. There is also black sand (Arena Azul), which comes from the mountains. Playa Blanca runs 9.5 km north along the coast from Barra de Potosí (the northern half of the beach is named Playa Larga, 3.5 km). The entire bay (including both beaches) is named: Bahía el Potosí. |
