The Best Beach Vacations
Los Cabos Corridor: Dramatic rock formations and crashing waves mix with wide stretches of soft sand and rolling surf breaks here. This stretch of coast is also home to some of Mexico's most luxurious resorts, verdant golf greens, and crowd-free surf breaks. Start at Playa Palmilla in San Jose del Cabo and work your way down to the famed Playa de Amor at Land's End in Cabo San Lucas. Some beaches here are more suitable for contemplation than for swimming, which isn't all bad.
Los Barriles: The gentle, sleepy-town feel of this blossoming East-Cape fishing village is just the start of why this place is magical. Sweeping beaches, accommodations that feel luxurious despite friendly price tags, a thriving expat artist community, a handful of truly delectable eateries, and all the fish in the sea make Los Barriles a must for the beach-bound vacationer.
La Paz: If you want time to stop in its tracks, this town -- the capital city of Baja Sur -- offers slow-paced beach life at its best. Most accommodations are modest, inexpensive inns, with a few unique, well-appointed places tossed in. Follow the scent of oceangoing adventure in the air or just follow the breeze to myriad sandy beaches. In La Paz, no one expects anything of you, allowing you to pave your own way to underwater vistas and offshore islands or shallow snorkels and comfy beach chairs.
Loreto: Once the center of the Jesuit mission movement in Baja, Loreto is both a town of historical interest as well as a naturalist's dream. Offshore islands provide abundant opportunities for kayaking, snorkeling, diving, and exploring, and the beaches to the south of town are downright dreamy. If you tire of the big blue, there are plenty of inland explorations nearby as well.
Rosarito to Ensenada: Northern Baja's beach towns may be primarily known for attracting a rowdy party crowd on weekends, but regardless of whether you're here for the revelry, you'll also find this stretch of coast ideal for great surfing and dramatic diving.
