Overview

Mexico Baja California

Lying out of the mainland, Baja California is a long and thin strip of land which stretches over 1,000 miles between the Pacific Ocean and the sea of Cortez. Fully Mexican territory, it is, however, difficult to compare it to the rest of the country. An unexpected combination of mountains, desert and sea, the peninsula is an invitation to peace, tranquility and rest. The further south you go, the more noise you will encounter. Out at sea, you may even have the opportunity to see some whales!

pros

  •  A 2,000 mile coastline which is bordered mostly by virgin beaches.
  •  Scuba diving in some of the world's most beautiful seabeds
  •  The opportunity to go mountain trekking and admire the royal stags.
  •  The consistency of the climate.
  •  A wide variety of hotels.
  •  Whale watching.

cons

  •  The strong waves and currents of the Pacific Ocean make it dangerous to swim.
  •  The beaches are not easy to reach, which explains why they remain unspoilt.
  •  The americanisation of some of the resorts (Los Cabos).
  •  High prices aimed at American tourists (Baja California is the most expensive part of Mexico).

Our Editorial team's advice

The best time to visit Baja California is between November and the end of May. Between mid-December and the beginning of January, the prices are very high because it is the American winter holiday.
The Pacific coast may seem more authentic, but be careful because it is more dangerous (strong currents). Our favourite beach is Playa del Amor, where the Pacific ocean meets the sea of Cortez (the locals say that two people go there and three come back!) Swimmers will prefer Las Palmas on the Pacific side and surf boarders will love San Pedrito.
