7. Burrito
If you're at a beach in Baja, a burrito is a no brainer. With countless variations and styles of burritos, you can't really go wrong.

Cheese and crackers are a simple yet satisfying beach snack. Choose a variety of cheeses that hold up well in the heat, such as cheddar, gouda, or babybel. Pair them with whole-grain or seed crackers for a combination of protein, healthy fats, and carbs that will keep you full.
