In general, accommodations in Loreto are the kind travelers to Mexico used to find all over: inexpensive and unique, with genuine and friendly owner-operators. And, as Mid-Baja is a mecca of sorts for RV explorers, Rivera del Mar RV Park & Camping (www.riveradelmar.com; tel. 613/135-0718) has deluxe hookups just 2 blocks from the beach. Also of note, as people fall in love with Loreto and build their dream homes there, vacation-rental properties are on the rise, and Kathy and Hector at Rentals Loreto (tel. 613/135-2505; www.rentalsloreto.com) have the best selection in town. Beachfront homes that sleep up to eight can go for about $170 a night and most also rent by the week.
