La Paz

La Paz, capital city of Baja California is the one city of the area that you must see. A white-washed city and Mexican to the core (much more so than Los Cabos), La Paz offers simple pleasures such as walking on the malecon (the sea front) in the sun set, or go to some superb beaches, in particular on Pichilingue Point. You can also go on a day-trip, using one of the many agencies on the malecon, to sail to Espiritu Santo Island; there, the main attraction is swimming with the sea lions.
