La Paz is the capital of Baja California Sur—a waterfront city on the Sea of Cortez where the days start slow and end with unreal sunsets.
It’s known for its scenic Malecón de La Paz, seaside cafés, public art, and an easygoing food scene that makes it a perfect “reset day” between bigger road-trip adventures.
Must-Do Experiences
- Malecón stroll + sunset: Ocean views, sculptures, and a relaxed vibe—perfect before dinner.
- Beach day close to town: Playa El Coromuel is a local favorite with calm-water vibes and it’s a Blue Flag–certified beach.
- Beach day with island views: Playa El Tecolote is great for a full beach day—long shoreline, palapas, seafood spots, and views toward Espíritu Santo.
- Boat day to Isla Espíritu Santo: A classic La Paz experience—snorkel, paddle, and beach stops depending on the tour and conditions.
