Lucenilla Peninsula

The Lucenilla Peninsula stretches along the coast of Sinaloa near Altata, separating sheltered waters from the Gulf of California. Mangroves grow beside the bay, while sand and low coastal ground shape its shores. The inlet belongs to a coast of lagoons and river mouths below the Sierra Madre, where the land meets the warm waters of the gulf. Its narrow peninsula gives the bay a very different aspect from the open sea outside.
