One of the most stunningly beautiful stretches of coast in Baja for its blue-green waters, white sandy coves and lack of construction. Great for kayaking and swimming, and many of the bays have palapas (thatch-roof structures) and camping areas. Road-trippers (particularly those in campers and RVs) often choose the shores as a final destination, and stay for weeks.
